GENERAL
RECARO remains fully active and committed to their customers. In 2024, RECARO Automotive GmbH in Germany entered insolvency proceedings. Later in the year, an Italian company acquired the affected division and committed to relaunching production in 2025. Importantly, RECARO’s international operations, including the aftermarket division, was unaffected and continue to deliver the same industry-leading products we know and love.
RECARO is the world leader in automotive seating for a reason.
Every seat is engineered with the perfect balance of ergonomics, safety, and performance, giving you the best driving experience possible.
