Recaro to double Chinese seat production
Building on its record seat deliveries in 2016, aircraft seating specialist Recaro Aircraft Seating is planning to double its Chinese production rates in 2017. Recaro delivered over 100,000 seats in 2016, setting a new record across its 4 production sites—including a record 5,000 passenger seats in one month at its Poland site. Currently the company manufactures around 30,000 seats per year at each of its facilities in Germany, Poland and the US. In 2016, Recaro’s newest site in Qingdao, China doubled its production to 10,000 seats. Recaro CE Mark Hiller said Chinese production will again be doubled to 20,000 seats in 2017 based on booked orders. The seating specialist is also investing E13.5m (US$14.3m) in a new 6,000-sq m logistics centre at the company’s Schwaebisch Hall headquarters. This will open at the end of 2017. <br/>
