Sunitha Vegerla has been appointed as the new general manager of Recaro Aircraft Seating Americas in Fort Worth, Texas, effective 1st June, 2021. Vegerla is also director of quality and process management at the company, and a member of the Americas executive leadership team.

After three years in the role, the outgoing general manager, René Dankwerth, will be transitioning into a new position as EVP of the Competence Centre for Composites at Recaro’s headquarters in Schwaebisch Hall, Germany. During his time in the role, Dankwerth ramped up the facility’s production capabilities to double sales volumes in 2018-2019, while maintaining on-time delivery to customers.

“When René approached me about returning to Germany, I remembered Sunitha telling me that she could imagine herself taking over this role again at some point in the future,” said Dr Mark Hiller, CEO of Recaro Aircraft Seating. “I am confident that Sunitha is the right person to lead our site into this new chapter for our industry and continue expanding our footprint in the Americas region.”

Vegerla has been with the seating company for nearly two decades and is responsible for helping build the programme management department in the Americas. Originally from India, Vegerla holds a bachelor’s degree in engineering from Andhra University in India and a master’s degree in engineering technology from the University of North Texas.

Recaro Aircraft Seating Americas is one of five Recaro sites located around the world and was established in 1998 in north Fort Worth. The facility employs nearly 400 team members and was producing 42,000 seats in 2019 on its eight production lines for airlines around the world.
