RECARO Aircraft Seating has announced a major expansion of its Polish, Świebodzin facility, with completion expected in Q3 2026. The development forms part of the company’s long-term growth initiative, known as space2grow, and comes 20 years after the site first opened.
The expansion reflects RECARO’s strategy of “in the region for the region”, underlining its ongoing commitment to the local community through investment in infrastructure, jobs and industrial development in the Świebodzin area. The company said the project is designed to support growth across the aviation sector as demand increases and customer expectations continue to evolve.
To meet the needs of a rapidly advancing industry, RECARO will significantly increase the site’s capacity. Production and logistics areas will be doubled to almost 18,000 m², while office space will more than double to nearly 5,000 m². The expanded office facilities are intended to provide a more modern working environment and enhance employee wellbeing.
Alongside the physical growth, the company will introduce new technological upgrades to strengthen operational efficiency. Plans include the implementation of an automated warehouse system, aimed at improving the accuracy of materials delivered to production lines and reducing manufacturing times. Intelligent space management will also be deployed to optimise warehouse layout and functionality, contributing to lower operating costs and greater flexibility.
RECARO said these measures will allow the site to respond more rapidly to changing order volumes and shifting market requirements, ensuring it can meet both current demand and future development opportunities within the global aerospace supply chain.
Dr Mark Hiller, CEO of RECARO Aircraft Seating and RECARO Holding, described the expansion as a milestone as the company approaches its 120th anniversary. He noted that growing the Polish facility is a key step in addressing rising aviation industry demand, while also reinforcing RECARO’s commitment to its employees, partners and the local community as it enters a new chapter of development.
