RECARO is a German brand with roots dating back to 1906, originally founded by Wilhelm Reutter as Reutter Karosserie. In the 1960s, the company shifted focus to automotive seating, leading to the creation of the RECARO brand (Reutter + Caro). It became famous for high-performance sports seats and supplied manufacturers like Porsche, as well as motorsport applications. Today, RECARO produces premium seats for cars, aircraft, and offices.
