RECARO Aircraft Seating has marked a significant milestone for its facility in Qingdao, China.
With distinguished customers, VIPs, suppliers and the RECARO leadership team in attendance, the celebration event at the Qingdao facility featured a vibrant dragon and lion dance performance, symbolising strength and good fortune, the planting of a Golden Osmanthus tree, a powerful representation of the enduring values and legacy of RECARO and an evening gala dinner with Long Service Awards ceremony.
“Reaching the 10-year milestone is an exciting accomplishment, not just for the Asia Pacific region but for overall RECARO,” said Dr. Mark Hiller, CEO of RECARO Aircraft Seating and RECARO Holding.
“The resilience of our colleagues in Qingdao, especially in recent years, is what sets RECARO apart. Our presence in Qingdao is a very important part of our strategy for the region and greatly contributes to the success of our global footprint.”
The final phase of the company’s space2grow expansion plan has also now been successfully completed. The company had acquired nearly 11,000 square metres of land in 2019 to maximise the usage of workshops and office spaces at the site. Construction of the new facilities took approximately 12 months.
“Reaching 10 years became even sweeter when we completed our Phase Three construction project simultaneously,” said Irene Tan, General Manager of RECARO Aircraft Seating in China.
“This gives us the space to further expand and support the future growth prospect of aviation in China, as well as the ramp-ups in the Asia Pacific region. I look forward to this new chapter with my APAC team.”
