From community fathers like General Motors engineer Charles Kettering who invented the first electric starter and founded Delco (Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company), to the emerging technologies of the present – the region’s core strength in automotive manufacturing has provided NCC with a natural market for composite applications.
In addition to more traditional composite applications, new trends such as fuel cell research will require a significant level of lighter materials – materials with properties that only composites can provide – such as corrosion resistance and special embedments. With its state-of-the-art manufacturing and prototype development facility and its broad range of capabilities, NCC is strategically positioned to support research in fuel cell technology.
New attention on CAFÉ standards represents another positive step for composite products while MACT standards are driving the industry to more closed molding options. With these elements coming together – preforms are a must. Again, NCC is strategically poised to support this industry trend. In addition to its ability to respond to new developments, NCC has been aggressively working in the automotive and truck markets.
