Recaro is Innovator of the Year 2016

"The Innovator of the Year 2016 award demonstrates that your business is at the forefront when it comes to intelligent products, processes and services," writes Dr. Friedrich Schwandt, CEO of Statista GmbH, in his letter to the best companies. The decision-makers are representatives from companies that have received awards for their innovations as well as executives with years of professional experience in the areas of research & development, production, human resources, communication, strategy and marketing. Their decisions were made based on a large-scale online survey of 1,800 companies - a pre-selection resulting from an analysis of several German innovation awards. On average, each participant submitted 18 recommendations – creating a meaningful platform from which emerged a best list of around 250 companies.

Recaro Aircraft Seating’s processes are also outstanding

The aircraft seat manufacturer from Schwaebisch Hall in Germany regularly receives awards for its products. In February, it was honored with the German Design Award in Gold for the CL3710 economy seat. 18 patents were registered for the development of this product alone: a highlight and testament to Recaro’s innovative strength. "We are very honored to have our innovative strength confirmed by several experts from a variety of industries. We are also very pleased that we not only stood out with our products and services in the brand eins and Statista survey, but also with our processes. This provides impetus to further evolve a business facet that is intrinsic to our excellence guidelines, and one that we are continuously developing," says Dr. Mark Hiller, Chief Executive Officer and Shareholder at Recaro Aircraft Seating.
