KIRCHHEIM, GERMANY, DECEMBER 4th, 2024
Proma Group has signed an investment agreement with RECARO Automotive GmbH in Germany to take over business and have begun the transition period. This investment will allow for operations to continue and relaunch across Europe in January 2025. Proma Group will retain several employees from the original Sales and Technology departments at RECARO Automotive Germany which will be based in the Stuttgart region. This will ensure a more seamless transition of support to meet customer needs. In January, aftermarket seats will be available on the market and OEM production will be transferred to Italy with the first
seats entering production. “Our investment in RECARO Automotive will strengthen our ability to deliver a premium seating product, while embracing
the most cutting-edge innovations in the automotive sector,” says Luca Pino, CEO Proma Group. “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”. RECARO Automotive’s operations in North America and Japan are continuing to function as usual, providing the same
high standard of products and service that RECARO Automotive customers in these regions have come to rely on.
