RECARO Aircraft Seating awards suppliers

RECARO Aircraft Seating recently hosted the 13th annual  Global Supplier Day to recognise suppliers who go above and beyond while exemplifying the RECARO standards. During the conference, RECARO shared a business update and outlook with attendees. The awards were given in five categories – Sustainability, Newcomer, Customer Service,  Production Material, and Non-Production Material – based on a suppliers overall performance throughout the year. This year, Simona Boltaron Inc. received the Sustainability award for key initiatives to reduce water and energy consumption, their establishment of an in-house recycling center, the use of high-impact thermoplastics for lightweight and durable products, and their development of the Boltaron® TERREFORM line that features up to 100% recycled content. Each of these initiatives is a major accomplishment towards sustainable aviation and aligns with the sustainability goals set forth by RECARO. Newcomer AMT, LLC, from Mexico, was recognised for their outstanding commitment to the RECARO principles and their ability to successfully comply to the RECARO standards and perform at a high level during the supplier development phases and assemblies. In the Customer Service category, MHR Kunststofftechnik GmbH was selected due to their competitive lead times and excellent overall customer support ensuring that every customer request was attainable. Additionally, Yantai Aikai Tianlong Moulding Plastics Co., Ltd received the Production Material award for their commitment to cost reduction without compromising quality, and for their efficient processes and timely responses that positively impacted delivery performance throughout the year. Finalists in this category included Covertex d.o.o and ETW Wollmershauser GmbH. The award for Non-Production Material was given to Sure Personal Management GmbH which offered remarkable staffing solutions to ensure streamlined processes and reduced administrative burdens which allowed the RECARO teams the ability to focus on the core of the business. “As we continue on our path of sustainability and growth, partnerships with like-minded collaborators are key. These relationships ensure we meet our customers’ wishes in a timely and sustainable manner, solidifying our market leadership position with economy class seating solutions next to our further steps into business class,” said Mark Hiller, CEO of RECARO Aircraft Seating and RECARO Holding. “Thank you to all our suppliers for attending the conference and showing your unwavering dedication for quality, service, and sustainability in the industry. Your support in our production ramp-up, along with your flexibility and reliability as partners, has been invaluable. It’s our combined efforts that make a difference to our customers and their passengers,” said Roland Grimm EVP Supply Chain and Sustainability.
