EIGHT AWARDS IN A ROW: RECARO THE MOST FAVORED BRAND IN AUTOMOTIVE SEATING

RECARO is the most favored brand in automotive seating: In 2016, RECARO and its premium-quality seats have stood at the top of the podium at eight prestigious industry award ceremonies. Both according to the reader surveys of renowned German-language trade magazines and to the critical assessment of expert juries, the products of RECARO Automotive Seating enjoy by far the greatest degree of trust and respect in the industry. This includes honors in automotive seating as well as race car and commercial vehicle seating. “Eight prestigious awards in the first half of 2016 alone. That’s really unusual for an accessories product, and it makes us very proud,” said Ingo Fleischer, group vice president and general manager of specialty seating at Johnson Controls, of which RECARO is a product group. “What was most gratifying was that thousands of enthusiastic consumers once again gave us their vote. This is an overwhelming indication of how deeply they trust in the reliability, comfort and ergonomics of RECARO seats.” Awards 2016:
