What exactly makes a car seat a genuine RECARO, a modern, high-tech seat? It is the experience gained over more than 100 years<br />
of company history, the knowledge, the technology and the special philosophy integrated into every RECARO. Our products may<br />
be more exclusive and expensive than others, but in the design and manufacturing process we will not make economies that can<br />
affect safety, ergonomics and the comfort of the seat. Therefore, sitting in a genuine RECARO is a very special feeling.<br />
OWN SOMETHING<br />
SPECIAL<br />
Due to our company history which stretches back more than<br />
100 years, we know how to make sitting in a vehicle a pleasant<br />
experience. The evolution of our company is just as unique as<br />
the development of seating itself.<br />
It all began in the year 1906 with the production of car bodies.<br />
After successful years as a producer of vehicle bodies – did you<br />
know that Reutter produced the first bodies for the Volkswagen<br />
(later VW Beetle) and the Porsche 356? – RECARO specialised<br />
in the development and production of vehicle seats from 1963<br />
onwards. Above all, it is the special innovative spirit, the outstanding<br />
creativity and the often quoted aim "We want to be<br />
better" from the company's founder, Wilhelm Reutter, that<br />
still prevail in the company and that have made RECARO the<br />
premium brand that it is today.<br />
Safety, ergonomics, design, comfort and quality – these are<br />
the keywords that we emphasised in the specifications for our<br />
designers, draughtsmen and engineers. Considering current<br />
ecological issues, feel-good factors and a deeply-rooted ethical<br />
responsibility, products have been created that are second to<br />
none. They are packed with state-of-the-art technology such<br />
as the weight-saving hybrid construction principle*, which<br />
decreases the total weight of the vehicle and therefore reduces<br />
emissions. All products comply with the extremely stringent<br />
requirements that renowned vehicle manufacturers have to fulfil.<br />
Our knowledge is learnt through our "non-road" divisions – you<br />
have no doubt already sat in a RECARO airline passenger seat –<br />
and our genuine craftsmanship is coupled with top quality<br />
materials.<br />
We have adopted nature as our role model, thus we always<br />
ensure efficiency and sustainability, as well as production which<br />
is based on strict ecological considerations in order to provide<br />
future-proof mobility. All this is integrated into a RECARO.<br />
*Resource-saving production process, made from metal and polymer materials.
