Recaro 申請破產！百年老店就此終結！？
Recaro，自 1906 年誕生以來，一直是賽車與性能車座椅的代名詞，這家傳奇的座椅製造商在全球車迷與車廠中佔有一席之地。然而，近期卻傳出汽車座椅部門申請破產的消息，這不僅將導致 215 名員工面臨失業危機，還可能對許多性能車廠的座椅配置造成影響。
Recaro 最早在 1963 年轉型為世界第一家專門製造汽車座椅的公司，其生產的賽車桶椅在賽場上屢見不鮮，並成為許多性能車款的標配。Recaro 的座椅設計注重人體工學，並融入骨科醫學的見解，通過頭枕、側邊支撐、腰靠等細節設計，有效減輕駕駛的身體負擔，提升駕駛舒適性。
除了汽車座椅，Recaro 的產品線還涵蓋飛機座椅和電競椅等多個領域，顯示其在座椅製造方面的廣泛影響力。然而，Recaro 的汽車座椅部門在 2020 年被 Raven Acquisitions 投資公司收購後，如今卻面臨破產困境，這一消息不僅引發旗下員工所屬工會的強烈不滿，也意味著許多未來的性能車款將不再配備 Recaro 座椅。
查找資料時發現，今次 Recaro 申請破產主要是持股的一方針對部分分公司部門進行止蝕，以應付公司內部效率不良的問題。
不僅是 Recaro，另一家歷史悠久且在業界享有盛譽的輪圈製造商 BBS 也在近期申請破產。值得注意的是，這已經是 BBS 公司在 10 年內第 5 次申請破產。BBS 的輪圈產品廣泛供應給包括 Porsche、BMW 和 Mercedes-Benz 在內的多家著名汽車品牌。根據外媒報道，BBS 的轉讓協議已於今年 6 月簽署完成，顯示 BBS 正努力尋求新出路以渡過難關。
Recaro 與 BBS 這兩家企業的破產申請，無疑對汽車業界帶來不小的震撼。這不僅反映了全球市場環境的變遷，也提示企業在面對激烈競爭時需持續創新與調整策略。未來，汽車業界的變化與挑戰仍然不可預測，而這些品牌能否重振旗鼓，也成為業界關注的焦點。

Since its inception in 1906, Recaro has been synonymous with racing and performance car seats, holding a prominent place among car enthusiasts and manufacturers worldwide. However, recent news reports that its automotive seat division has filed for bankruptcy, potentially leading to 215 employees facing unemployment and affecting the seat configurations of many performance car manufacturers.
Recaro officially transitioned in 1963 to become the world’s first company dedicated solely to manufacturing car seats. Its racing bucket seats have been a common sight on racetracks and have become standard equipment for many performance car models. Recaro's seat designs focus on ergonomics, incorporating orthopedic insights with features such as headrests, side supports, and lumbar support to reduce driver fatigue and enhance driving comfort.
Beyond automotive seats, Recaro's product line extends to airplane seats and gaming chairs, showcasing its broad influence in seat manufacturing. Despite its wide reach, Recaro’s automotive seat division, acquired by Raven Acquisitions in 2020, now faces bankruptcy. This news has sparked strong dissatisfaction among its employee unions and signals that many future performance cars may no longer be equipped with Recaro seats.
According to Recaro Automotive Taiwan, the bankruptcy filing is primarily a measure by the holding company to mitigate losses in some underperforming divisions. However, the operations in Taiwan have not been affected by the bankruptcy filing, as the domestic market is overseen by the Japanese branch responsible for the Pan-Pacific region, and business operations remain stable.
Recaro is not alone in facing financial difficulties; another renowned company in the industry, the wheel manufacturer BBS, has also recently filed for bankruptcy. Notably, this marks the fifth bankruptcy filing for BBS within a decade. BBS wheels are widely supplied to prominent car manufacturers, including Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. According to foreign media reports, the transfer agreement for BBS was signed in June this year, indicating that the company is actively seeking new avenues to overcome its challenges.
The bankruptcy filings of both Recaro and BBS have sent shockwaves through the automotive industry. These events reflect the changing global market landscape and highlight the need for companies to continuously innovate and adjust their strategies amidst fierce competition. The future of the automotive industry remains unpredictable, and whether these brands can regain their former glory is a focal point of interest for the industry.
