Recaro

Recaro is a German company based in Stuttgart, well known for their bucket seats and commonly contracted to produce upgraded racing style seats for all the sporty cars built by the Volkswagen Group as well as many other manufacturers.

History

Founding and Beginnings

Founded in 1906 as a car body producer, the company (named Reutter at the time for it's founder Wilhelm Reutter) made a name for itself producing Limousine bodies in the 1920s. In 1930 they started producing bodies for the Volkswagen Beetle, and in 1949 had a huge break though when Porsche started using their bodies for their sports cars.

The move from Car Bodies to Racing Seats

New car manufacturing methods reduce the size of the car body market in the 1950s, and Reutter finds itself on hard times.

In 1963 Porsche takes over management of the entire company and renames it Recaro GmbH & Co, changing the company focus to producing top quality seats for Porsche vehicles, and the company ceases producing Vehicle Bodies entirely. The company begins producing both production seats for Porsche and a seperate line of seats for re-fits into any car.

In 1969, The Ruetters family sells their ownership of Recaro to three companies, Keiper, Huber & Wagner, and Metzeler after facing economic problems.

In 1983, Keiper purchases all shares in Recaro and establishes Keiper Recaro GmbH & Co

The Recaro we know today

The 1990s was a period of great change for Recaro. Their operations went world wide as they established Recaro North America, Recaro UK, Recaro South East Asia in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Recaro France in Mont Saint Algnan.

Meanwhile, Recaro seats were seeing applications in a variaty of cars from the Aston Martin V03 to the Audi S series and RS Series, to the Beetle RSI, as well as the addition of the side Airbag seat to the Recaro Product line.

Recaro seats are also used in the Leopard 2 MBT.
