Recaro

Recaro is a German brand known for its high-quality automotive seats, child car seats, and aircraft seats. The company was founded in 1906 by Wilhelm Reutter in Stuttgart, Germany, initially as a coachbuilder. The name Recaro is a portmanteau of the founder's surname, Reutter, and the word "car."

In 1963, Recaro began specializing in the production of car seats, revolutionizing the automotive seating industry with innovative designs focused on ergonomics, comfort, and safety. Their seats quickly gained recognition for their superior support and craftsmanship, becoming a popular choice for both performance vehicles and luxury cars. Many major automotive manufacturers have offered Recaro seats as optional equipment or as standard in their high-performance models.

Beyond automotive applications, Recaro has also established a strong presence in the child safety market with a range of car seats designed for infants and children. Furthermore, the company is a significant player in the aviation industry, supplying seats for commercial airlines and private jets, known for their durability, lightweight construction, and passenger comfort. Recaro operates globally, with manufacturing facilities and distribution networks across several continents, maintaining its reputation for engineering excellence and premium product offerings.
