In 1963, Porsche acquired the car body factory.[1] What remained was renamed to Recaro (REutter-CAROsserie), and focus was shifted to high-end seats.[1] The company began producing both OEM seats for Porsche, and a separate line of after-market seats.[1] In 1965, Recaro presented the first Recaro sports seat at the Frankfurt Motor Show.[2] In 1967, Recaro started the construction of a production facility in Schwäbisch Hall.[9] In 1969, the Reutter family sold the company to three companies, Keiper, Huber & Wagner and Metzeler, due to economic problems. In 1971, Recaro produced the first aircraft seats under the name Recaro Aircomfort under license of the American manufacturer Hardman Aerospace. Shortly afterwards, Recaro launched its first aircraft seat, the so-called Recaro 2020, and sold it to Lufthansa, among others.
