Raicam Industrie

The company was founded in Manoppello, in eastern Italy, in 1982, by Nicola Di Sipio.

In 1995 a new challenge arrived: the design and the production of friction material for brake discs; it started from the taking over of the company Permafuse, located in Turin, aiming to become the OE supplier of the most important car manufacturing industries. The growing path has been marked by important investment in R&D, partnership with research centres and universities, advanced production plants, with the constant goal of "doing it good", always in order to do.

In 2005 Raicam enlarged its products range by taking over AP Automotive Products SrL, a leader company for the design, development and manufacturing of clutches; also in 2009 it took over AP Driveline Technologies Ltd, today named Raicam Clutch Ltd, and thus gaining a 100 years history of brakes and clutches top quality manufacturing.

In 2008 for the first time Fiat 500 was assembled with Raicam clutches and brakes: a big achievement for an OE supplier.

In 2015 Raicam has extended in the Asian market by setting up the first R&D centre in India, in order to support the local car manufacturing industries; in 2016 the Indian plant started its production for supplying the OE local market.
