Recaro Honors Top Suppliers

: Jul 19, 2019 - : 9:10 am

Last week Recaro, global supplier of premium aircraft seats, hosted its eleventh Global Supplier Conference in Schwaebisch Hall. This year’s main theme for the conference – ‘Moving forward. Together’ – shows the importance Recaro adheres to good collaboration. At the same time the company highlighted its dedication to help make the aviation industry more sustainable by launching an environmental category as part of its supplier awards.

While one of the global leaders in the aircraft seating industry, Recaro is also a family-owned business that highly values close partnerships. That is why the company, each year, organizes a Global Supplier Conference. This year’s event attracted more than 160 participants from 70 companies from all over the world.

During the conference, Recaro experts as well as guest speakers shed their light on trends and expectations in the aviation market and how to best respond to these.

Sustainability also took center stage during the conference. Especially in Boet Kreiken’s presentation. As the Executive Vice President Customer Experience for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Kreiken went into the 100-year history of the airline and the changes it has gone through. He particularly emphasized the need for sustainable solutions for customers and the aviation market in general. 

“Sustainability is a key theme in society and in our industry,” said Joachim Ley, Executive Vice President Supply Chain at Recaro Aircraft Seating. “As Recaro and its suppliers want to be prepared for the future and remain a supplier of choice, we need to keep coming up with innovative, adaptable and flexible solutions to address this and other important issues.”

With the increased focus on and importance of sustainability, Recaro added a brand-new environmental category to its list of supplier awards. The honor of winning the first Recaro Environmental Supplier Award went to Henkel GmbH (Germany). They were lauded for their contribution to sustainable production solutions as well as engagement in promoting these solutions to other companies. Next to the environmental award, Recaro rewarded 6 other suppliers for outstanding achievements.
