Automotive Seat Supplier Recaro Files for Bankruptcy

As a long-time enthusiast of Recaro seats, this news has left me both saddened and perplexed. I’ve always admired their craftsmanship, comfort, and the unique blend of style they bring to my beloved cars. The thought that these iconic seats may disappear from the automotive landscape is a hard pill to swallow.


As a dedicated gamer, I was taken aback when I stumbled upon news that my beloved gaming chair manufacturer Recaro is facing bankruptcy. It’s hard to believe, considering the years of sacrifices made by their 215 employees, who have reportedly been deferring and reducing their wages to help keep the company afloat. It’s a tough blow for everyone involved in this story, as we all know that sometimes, even our favorite gaming gear companies face unexpected challenges.

After Recaro’s filing on July 29th, IG Metall union has expressed uncertainty about the jobs and future of their members, as well as the possible destiny of the company itself. As of now, there is limited information available about whether the company might be sold or discontinued.

Further findings suggest that the current financial predicament is isolated to the Recaro Automotive sector, which specializes in OEM and aftermarket car seat production for various automobile brands. Meanwhile, their operations in producing aircraft seating, office chairs, and gaming seats will carry on functioning as usual at this point.

An official transparency statement on the matter is expected to be released soon.
