When airlines plan to reconfigure their aircraft with new seats, they often identify shortcomings in the existing cabin furnishings. With furnishings on older planes, the decorative is often scuffed up and the trim is dingy looking or broken. Units that look like that will likely be refreshed or simply replaced. Sometimes new business class seats require specialty furnishings such as closets with footwells in them.  Perhaps the airline's marketing department wants to differentiate the brand by offering a bar unit, or a lounge area for passengers to enjoy. Regardless of the reasons, airlines rely on Heath Tecna everyday to help them reconfigure and certify their aircraft with new monuments, furniture, and cabin dividers installed.
