NUCAP's innovations enable partners to build better: faster, more cost-effective, more efficient and more sustainable.
Safety First
Safety is never added later. It is built in from the start, so every part we make performs when it matters most.
Lasting Strength
We engineer materials and processes that hold up in the harshest environments, proven over more than 30 years of production.
Proven Performance
We supply the world's largest car manufacturers and aftermarket brake companies, producing millions of parts people rely on every day.
OUR PORTFOLIO
One company behind every part
We design and manufacture the components at the heart of braking, and the metal fusion technology that now reaches well beyond it.
The same engineering that stops vehicles safely is what we take into building, energy and whatever comes next.
NRS and GRIPMetal are ours. NRS is the safety technology mechanically fused into our brake systems. GRIPMetal is the surface enhancement that strengthens timber construction, roads and flooring, optimizes satellites, and improves cooling for data centers and HVAC.

How we shape people's experience of us
EXPERIENCE PRINCIPLES
Guiding behaviors that shape people's experience of NUCAP brakes across product, service, communications
Be bold
We may not be widely known yet, and we are up against big competitors, but we are fearless. We are unafraid to call out false claims and challenge existing conventions, in order to make space for something better.
Excellence in every detail
We want to challenge the direction of the aftermarket and its race to the bottom. While brakes may be one of many products our audiences touch, we want to drive reconsideration across every single touchpoint.
Show don't tell
A picture tells a 1000 words, and when it comes to an industry where many make the same claims, seeing is believing. We share our knowledge so that common braking problems can be overcome and the industry can evolve.
Make installers heroes
Auto repair is a service business, where drivers put their trust in installers. We put the spotlight on the pivotal role they play. By engineering a better installer experience, we give them confidence they can pass on to their customers.
Made for many
We believe everyone should have better brakes. And better brakes benefit everyone in the supply chain. We join the dots, highlighting the benefits to all stakeholders, so we can get everyone on board and unlock more advocates for change.
From underground to outer space
Proprietary technologies like GRIPMetal™ streamline timber construction, strengthen new roads and flooring, optimize satellites, and improve cooling for data centers, HVAC and more. NUCAP's patented spikes and composite metals empower breakthrough products and solutions across industries.
EXPLORE OUR TECHNOLOGYMetal fusion technology, proven in the harshest environments
We use galvanized steel to prevent rust and corrosion, delivering safe, consistent performance for the full service life of the part, even over time.
Built to meet OEM-level tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit and consistent performance across thousands of vehicle models and in all conditions.
Our mechanical bond replaces traditional adhesives, fusing metal to friction material so it stays attached and performs reliably under any demand.
The Full Solution.
The trusted supplier to the world's largest and most reputable car manufacturers and aftermarket brake companies
