EXTON, PA — United Safety & Survivability Corporation is partnering with RECARO Automotive to develop, produce and distribute seating for medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles across the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, expanding the Exton company’s seating business through a broader international collaboration.
The agreement combines United Safety’s suspension technology with RECARO’s automotive seating capabilities. The companies plan to cooperate on technical development, commercial operations and distribution.
The partnership gives United Safety a larger role in commercial vehicle seating while providing RECARO with a partner for the North American and Oceania markets.
“This is a defining moment for our seating business,” United Safety Chief Executive Officer Joseph Mirabile stated. He described the agreement as an opportunity to combine the companies’ development, production and distribution capabilities.
United Safety has nearly five decades of experience developing suspension technology used beneath vehicle seats, while RECARO has operated in automotive seating for more than 60 years.
RECARO Automotive has been part of Proma Group since January 2025. The company views the United Safety relationship as aligned with its broader international strategy.
“We share the same understanding for premium technologies and synergies, which are essential for commercial vehicle customers,” RECARO Automotive Chief Executive Officer Luca Pino stated.
The companies did not disclose financial terms of the partnership, production targets or a timetable for introducing jointly developed commercial vehicle seating.
