Lear Corporation has more than a century of experience in the automotive industry. At the start of the twentieth century, the company's founders, Hugo Kern and Jules Racke, began distributing aftermarket parts for Ford Model Ts. By 1927, the company had become an OEM supplier focused on automotive interiors. In the mid-1950s, Lear developed the first reclining seat in the automotive industry, and this became a hallmark product. Lear continues to develop innovative technologies that improve occupant comfort, safety, and convenience.
