World Class Manufacturing
Starting from 2017 OCAP production plants adopted the World Class Manufacturing system, a structured, strict and integrated production methodology that involves the whole organization, from safety to environment, from maintenance to logistics and quality.
The OCAP Group
OCAP can count on different production and distribution units.
The Holding, O.C.A.P. S.p.A., which includes only Direction, Supervision and Coordination functions, has its headquarters in Valperga (Turin), Italy.
History
In the mid-70s, Ivano Giordano created a small handicraft company named O.CA.P. S.n.c. (acronym of “Officine Canavesane di Precisione”, meaning Precision Workshops of the Canavese area)
OCAP production also includes fixed and adjustable stabilizer links that allow the connection between the antiroll bar and the suspension systems of the vehicle. The wide range of stabilizers offers parts with ball joints and with silentblocks.
OCAP core business is indeed the design and production of ball joints in compliance with the technical specifications of the single automotive manufacturers or with internationally recognized norms. A typical example is the norm AK-LH14, a reference rule for the most important German car manufacturers.
OCAP designs and produces hot-forged steel and aluminum track control arms, cast iron and aluminum arms, stamped sheet or tubular arms. They can be equipped with the relevant ball joints which allow the connection to the wheel hub and with elastic rubber, usually referred to as silentblock, which ensure the connection to the vehicle chassis.
The wide range of suspension arms includes solutions able to satisfy the different kinematic, dynamic and dimensional characteristics determined by the systems used in front and back suspensions. OCAP offers both the most traditional suspension systems (such as suspensions for longitudinal or transversal track control arms, McPherson suspensions or rigid rear axle suspensions ) and solutions for the most performing suspensions systems (such as double wishbones or multi-link ones).
