Recaro North America Consolidating Some Operations from China

The designer and manufacturer of high-end mobile seating for the automotive market plans to invest $6 million to consolidate some of its operations from China to its Auburn Hills facility. The project will expand Recaro's involvement in its child-restraint and OEM business units creating a rare diversification for a Michigan automotive manufacturer. The project is expected to retain 69 direct jobs plus an additional 177 indirect jobs. State tax credit valued at $519,000 over five years encouraged the company to stay and expand in Michigan.
