Raicam Industrie S.r.l. is an Italian multi-national group of OE automotive component and Aftermarket manufacturers, making clutches, brakes and hydraulic actuators.
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.
In 2005 Raicam enlarged its products range by taking over AP Automotive Products SrL, a company for the design, development and manufacturing of clutches; also in 2009 it took over AP Driveline Technologies Ltd, today named Raicam Clutch Ltd.
In 2008 for the first time Fiat 500 was assembled with Raicam clutches and brakes.
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.
28 March 2018 – Raicam has completed the acquisition of the Hydraulic Actuator Business from Valeo. This acquisition includes the entire Passive Hydraulic Division of Valeo, with all the Human Resources, Intellectual Property, Manufacturing Sitesat Mondovì in Italy, Gemlik in Turkey and Nanjing in China. In India, Raicam will carry on the former local Passive Hydraulic Business of Valeo in its Sanand Site, which is already operative. Raicam, by integrating the division acquired in its organization, has now the capabilities and the resources to design and manufacture the entire clutch and actuation system and to facilitate the industrialization of the active hydraulic actuators.
The company is headquartered in Manoppello in the Italian region of Abruzzo, east of the Autostrada A25 and on the SS5. It has around 1.000 employees and 7 manufacturing plants in Italy, Turkey, India and China. [1] It turns over around 180 million euros.

An automatic transmission is a multi-speed transmission used in motor vehicles that does not require any driver input to change gears under normal driving conditions. It typically includes a transmission, axle, and differential in one integrated assembly, thus technically becoming a transaxle.
A transmission is a machine in a power transmission system, which provides controlled application of power. Often the term 5-speed transmission refers simply to the gearbox, that uses gears and gear trains to provide speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device.
Semi-automatic transmission denotes a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission where part of its operation is automated, but the driver's input is still required to launch the vehicle from a standstill and to manually change gears. Most semi-automatic transmissions used in cars and motorcycles are based on conventional manual transmissions or a sequential manual transmission, but use an automatic clutch system. However, some semi-automatic transmissions have also been based on standard hydraulic automatic transmissions, with, or incorporating a fluid coupling or torque converter, and a planetary gearset.

A preselector gearbox is a type of manual transmission mostly used on passenger cars and racing cars in the 1930s, in buses from 1940-1960 and in armoured vehicles from the 1930s to the 1970s. The defining characteristic of a preselector gearbox is that the gear shift lever allowed the driver to "pre-select" the next gear, usually with the transmission remaining in the current gear until the driver pressed the "gear change pedal" at the desired time.
Brembo S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of automotive brake systems, especially for high-performance cars and motorcycles. Its head office is in Stezzano, near Bergamo, northeast of Milan, Italy.
Automated manual transmission (AMT), also known as a clutchless manual, denotes a type of multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system that is closely based on the mechanical design and build of a conventional manual transmission, but uses automation to operate either the clutch, and/or the gear shifting.
A transmission control unit (TCU), also known as a transmission control module (TCM), or a gearbox control unit (GCU), is a type of automotive ECU that is used to control electronic automatic transmissions. Similar systems are used in conjunction with various semi-automatic transmissions, purely for clutch automation and actuation. A TCU in a modern automatic transmission generally uses sensors from the vehicle, as well as data provided by the engine control unit (ECU), to calculate how and when to change gears in the vehicle for optimum performance, fuel economy and shift quality.
The PACE Award is an annual award from Automotive News. The focus of the award is an innovation (i) developed primarily by a supplier, (ii) that is new to the automotive industry, (iii) that is in use, and (iv) that "changes the rules of the game." Awards have been given for products, materials, processes, capital equipment, software and services. A panel of independent judges from industry, finance, research, and academia choose finalists from the initial applicants, make site visits to evaluate the innovation, and then gather to select winners, independent of the sponsors. Winners to date include suppliers from Japan, Korea, China, the US, Canada, Brazil, Germany, France, Italy, Poland and other European countries. Among the most awarded companies over the years are BorgWarner, Delphi Automotive, Federal-Mogul, Valeo and PPG Industries as well as Robert Bosch GmbH, Gentex Corporation, and Siemens.
