Recaro Aircraft Seating has inaugurated its newly expanded production facility in Qingdao, China on December 9. The inauguration concludes the second phase of the space2grow initiative, a major global expansion project Recaro started last year to support its continued growth. With its new expanded facilities, Recaro Aircraft Seating China will be equipped to take on the thriving market opportunities and lay a solid foundation for further growth in the Asia Pacific region.
The new Recaro production facilities measures roughly 7,500 m². It is provisioned to accommodate up to five new assembly lines which will increase the maximum production capacity of Recaro’s China plant to 60,000 seats per year, readying the company to meet the needs of customers in both the Asia Pacific region and the rest of the world.
The investment in the Qingdao plant forms part of the global Recaro space2grow initiative, an ambitious expansion strategy aimed to secure, sustain and expand the company’s growth. Space2grow is a multi-million investment project launched in 2018. Through the acquisition of additional land and investment in new buildings and renovations, it aims to significantly increase the production of Recaro seats across the world as well as office and social space.
