RECARO Aircraft Seating (RECARO) has celebrated a decade of success at its facility in Qingdao, China. The milestone was marked with an event on October 26, 2023, with distinguished guests including customers, VIPs, suppliers and the RECARO leadership team in attendance.
“Reaching the ten-year milestone is an exciting accomplishment, not just for the Asia Pacific region but for overall RECARO,” said Dr Mark Hiller, CEO of RECARO Aircraft Seating and RECARO Holding. “The resilience of our colleagues in Qingdao, especially in recent years, is what sets RECARO apart. Our presence in Qingdao is a very important part of our strategy for the region and greatly contributes to the success of our global footprint.”
In parallel with the ten-year anniversary, the third and final phase of the space2grow expansion plan was also successfully completed in October. The company acquired nearly 11,000 m² of land in 2019 to maximise the usage of workshops and office space at the site. Construction of the new facilities took approximately 12 months.
RECARO Aircraft Seating which first opened its doors to the facility in Qingdao in 2013, was the first international aircraft seat manufacturer to establish production facilities in China. Today, the facility employs a dedicated workforce of 160. RECARO Aircraft Seating continues to maintain its global presence with facilities also in Germany, the United States and Poland.
