Covercraft Industries, LLC announced today the acquisition of Marathon
Seat Covers, a leading manufacturer of premium-quality, custom-fit seat
covers for the automotive industry. This latest acquisition enhances
Covercraft’s world-leading pattern library and expands the company’s
assortment of custom-fit automotive aftermarket seat covers.
Founded in 1978, Marathon Seat Covers’ products cater to outdoor
enthusiasts, families and the hard-working pickup truck owner with seat
covers that are durable, stylish and precisely fitted.
This latest acquisition firmly places Covercraft as the market leader of
custom-fitted automotive seat covers and enhances the total product
offering of the company. “We take pride in knowing that we’re in a
category of one when it comes to custom vehicle protection products, and
the addition of Marathon Seat Covers further solidifies our commitment
to providing the largest assortment of premium interior protection
products available in the automotive aftermarket,” said Mark Korros,
President and CEO of Covercraft.
Marathon Seat Covers is the third company to join Covercraft’s
ever-increasing family of vehicle protection products since Covercraft
partnered with Century Park Capital Partners in 2015. Last year,
Covercraft added GT Covers, a highly respected manufacturer of
premium-quality, precision-fit seat covers, and in 2016 added ADCO
Products, the market leader in RV covers and protection accessories.
Covercraft is a leading manufacturer of aftermarket protection
accessories for the automotive, aviation, RV, power sports, marine,
motorcycle and outdoor products end markets. Covercraft additionally
owns a significant presence in the automotive OEM market, serving
leading manufacturers with custom designed protection products. The
company not only sells products under the Covercraft, ADCO, and GT

Guy Zaczepinski, Managing Partner with Century Park Capital Partners and
Chairman of Covercraft, concluded, “The product offering that Marathon
brings to our assortment further enhances Covercraft’s position as the
authority in the custom seat cover category, a vertical we are
incredibly enthusiastic about. We are fortunate to have such a
high-quality brand join our growing vehicle protection family.”
