What recom film does

Recom Film (recom FILM GmbH & Co. KG) is a German visual content production company headquartered in Ostfildern near Stuttgart, operating as part of RECOM GROUP, a visual content group with nearly 40 years of history. The company delivers end-to-end CGI and post-production services — including photorealistic 3D rendering and animation, compositing, color grading, VFX, on-set film and still photography, and advanced capabilities such as Unreal Engine-based realtime CGI, 360°/VR experiences, and fluid simulation — for premium automotive OEMs (Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Toyota, Genesis, Renault, Opel, Maserati, Polestar, Mazda, NIO, Changan, CFMOTO), consumer brands (Adidas, L'Oréal, Rivella, Aldi, Tanqueray), luxury (IWC, TAG Heuer), healthcare (AOK), and streaming/feature film productions (Prime Video, UFA Fiction).

The underlying technology stack combines established offline 3D and post-production pipelines with an Unreal Engine realtime rendering pipeline used for photoreal automotive visualization and interactive deliverables. The business model is B2B professional services sold on a project basis to enterprise OEMs and global advertising agencies (Saatchi & Saatchi, Jung von Matt, Publicis, INNOCEAN USA, Preuss und Preuss), with pricing quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Delivery is supported by ten wholly-owned international offices across Germany, the UK, France, Spain, Bulgaria, and the US, and the company holds TISAX certification aligned to automotive information-security requirements.

Recom Film is a privately held German limited partnership (GmbH & Co. KG) led by Managing Partners Andreas Justus Burz and Manuel Hummer, with no external investors disclosed. The company has expanded from automotive commercials into feature film and TV VFX over the past several years, and has diversified into adjacent consumer verticals while maintaining a heavy automotive focus.
