Recaro Expands Polish Plant to 100k Seats to Relieve Bottlenecks

On July 13, 2026, Recaro announced a substantial facility expansion in Świebodzin, Poland, scaling production capacity from 60,000 to 100,000 seats per year. This strategic scale-up is explicitly aimed at counteracting ongoing semiconductor, foam, and actuator delivery delays that have historically driven up component prices by up to 25%. While this will eventually stabilize supply, capacity integration will take time to fully relieve the broader market.
