Recaro Group expanded by new division: Recaro eGaming
Foray into the gaming market
Recaro is entering the gaming market as an established global brand for seating solutions. Since 1963, seating solutions for the automotive industry have been developed under the Recaro brand, and in the early 1970s these were complemented by aircraft seats. These premium products have been impressing for decades with their tailor-made ergonomics, optimal function and clean design.
“As an innovative company, we are constantly working on new technologies, but also looking at trends in society. During this process, we also discover new business opportunities. In our view, the topic of gaming is an extremely good fit for the Recaro brand, which for years has stood for appropriate seating solutions that improve the performance of active people. Naturally, we have implemented our well-founded expertise also into the Recaro Gaming seats, which we have developed with the support of gamers. It is the optimal product for this sport,” says Martin Putsch, Shareholder and CEO of the Recaro Group.
At Gamescom, Recaro Gaming will present its first prototypes at stand 10.1 E70, in order to get feedback from the gaming community. The first serially produced seats will be available early next year through online direct sales.
