Overview
History

The success story of the present RECARO company began in 1906 in Stuttgart, as the 32-year old saddler master Wilhelm Reutter founded the company “Reutter, Wilhelm, Saddler. Spezialitat: Luxus- und Motorwagen, englische Geschirre” (Specialities: Luxury and Motor Vehicles, English Ware). Reutter quickly made a name for itself in the up-and-coming automobile industry which was largely positioned in Stuttgart: Bosch, Maybach and Daimler were the big names which wrote history and laid the building blocks for the present location of mobility, Stuttgart.

Philosophy

A name that has become a benchmark, a synonym for quality, a symbol for value, a mark of trust, and a note for luxury in its purest form. RECARO has been the world’s most renowned seat maker for over 100 years. More
Corporate Social Responsibility

RECARO does not see itself purely as a manufacturer, but rather as more of a partner – a partner to the automotive industry and to everyone associated with the company. This ambitious claim shapes collaborations with customers, importers, dealers and suppliers just as it does the company's attitude toward its employees. More
Locations

The headquarters are located in Kirchheim / Teck, Germany. Production takes place at sites in Germany, in Detroit for the USA and in Japan for the Asian market. There is also production development at these sites – for the OEM as well as for the regional aftermarket. The distribution of aftermarket products is worldwide through numerous importers. RECARO Automotive employs over 450 personnel worldwide. More
Expertise

The design of RECARO seats is an essential element. It is important as a competitive differentiator and to highlight the brand. The styling and the selection of materials and colours for the modern and target group aligned design is developed in the RECARO design-centre. More
