Recaro awarded as Airbus supplier

There is one thing that Airbus leaves no doubt about: the airlines‘ expectations in their suppliers are rising. Key are perfect quality, on-time delivery and quick response times in customer service. Among the challenges is, first and foremost, the optimization of cabin space. In addition, digitalization facilitates new business models. These are two important topics for Airbus and its suppliers. As Joerg Schuler, Senior Vice President Procurement at Airbus, emphasizes, suppliers are given high priority at Airbus. The aircraft manufacturer continuously collaborates with its suppliers on customer satisfaction. For this purpose, Airbus surveys its customers once a year in the industry-renowned “Supplier Support Rating.“

Says Dr. Mark Hiller, Chief Executive Officer and Sharholder of Recaro Aircraft Seating: „We are delighted about the great positioning in Airbus‘ customer evaluation as this plays an important role when airlines award contracts. It shows that we have set the right direction on our way to being a comprehensive solutions provider.“
