Compin-Fainsa provides seating and interior fittings for passenger trains, buses and coaches.

Founded in 1902 as a designer of passenger train seating, Compin has since diversified its product range into other segments, such as train interiors and bus seats.

Equistone and Bpifrance supported the acquisition of Fainsa, a leading Spanish provider of train and coach seating, in 2015, which led to the creation of the Compin-Fainsa group. Later that year, the group acquired GAIT, a supplier of train floors and tables based in Andalusia.
