When NUCAP was founded in August 1994, we started with decades of experience in the production of brake system components. August of 1994 simply illustrates when NUCAP revolutionized the market by developing what is still defined as state of the art conventional press technologies and innovative advanced die designs. By combing re-defined process flows with innovative product designs & standards NUCAP did not become yet another metal stamper, but rather a product innovator.
