Recaro Sports Seats

Founded by Wilhelm Reutter in 1906, the Reutter Carosserie-Werke Company originally made limousine bodies in the 1920s, with production of Volkswagon Beetle bodies and Porsche bodies in the 1930s and 1950s respectively.

With a decline in specialist motor bodies and manufacturers making their own bodies in the 1950s the Reutter Company fell on hard times and in 1963 Porsche took over the car building factory.

The remainder of the Reutter Company renamed itself Recaro GmbH & Co (The name coming from RE-utter CARO-sserie) and changed its focus to producing top quality seats for Porsche vehicles. The main production line being for Porsche cars, with another line for seats, which could be fitted into any car.

In 1970 Keiper, a competitor of Recaro acquired a third stake in the company with Keiper gaining a majority stake in 1983. The company is now known as Keiper Recaro GmbH & Co.
