The news of Recaro’s bankruptcy was a real shock in the summer. It’s such a well established name in the automotive sector that we all sort of assumed that it’d be around forever. Perhaps 2024’s most salient lesson will be never to assume anything, especially when it comes to cars. There was a knock on effect, as well, who had to pause production due to Recaro’s halt.
Proma Group has signed an investment agreement with Recaro Automotive GmbH to ‘take over business and have begun the transition period.’ Nobody is hanging around, either, as Proma believes relaunch could happen as soon as January. Furthermore, its press release has suggested that several of the Stuttgart employees in Sales and Tech will be retained; helps those folk out with a job back, and benefits them with a ‘more seamless transition of support to meet customer needs.
Proma describes itself as a ‘leader company in the production of components for the automotive sector’, so this move makes a good deal of sense. A huge amount, in fact, given it specialises in ‘the development and fabrication of seat structures and mechanisms’. A match made in heaven, really. Founded in 1980, it employs 3,300 people across a pair of R&D centres, 26 manufacturing plants and nine E-coat painting lines.
The Recaro name is renowned throughout the world as a benchmark of German industrial technology, and Proma Group, a symbol of Italian manufacturing excellence, is excited about the future and the quality that will be expressed in the automotive market thanks to the union of two first-class companies”. Nice to have a bit of cheer in the current doom and gloom - presumably Ineos will be able to resume operations early in 2025 as well.
