What NCCM does

NCCM Company, LLC is a family-owned industrial manufacturer specializing in custom-engineered nonwoven rolls used in metal processing, automotive manufacturing, OEM machinery, and industrial applications. Founded in 2009 when the Niccum family acquired 3M's proprietary nonwoven roll technology and intellectual property, the company operates manufacturing and service centers in River Falls, Wisconsin (headquarters), Dearborn, Michigan, and McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, with international facilities in Montornès del Vallès (Spain), Frankenberg (Germany), and Shanghai (China). The company's core technology is an individually-bonded nonwoven disc construction that delivers properties—self-healing, repairability with up to five regrinds, high coefficient of friction on wet or oiled surfaces, sub-1 g/m² fluid film control, and non-marking finishes—that replace traditional roll coverings such as rubber and urethane in demanding applications.

The product portfolio centers on the flagship NCCM Premier Yellow roll, described by the company as an industry benchmark for more than 25 years, with additional series including N2, NT, and NS for coil and sheet processing; RU and RK for table, bridle, and deflector rolls; CX and CX-Plus for chemically aggressive environments; and V-Series products (Wiper Bar II, Mill Wipe) for wiping applications. Complementary offerings include the KwickSaddle drag-pad attachment system, Drag Pads, custom shafts and bearings, TOHO rolls, Leveler Rolls, urethane and rubber rolls, and 3M Scotch-Brite abrasive products. NCCM holds patents on RU and RK manufacturing technology and operates exclusively under an inbound license to 3M's proprietary nonwoven materials.

Revenue is generated through two mainstreams: hardware sales of custom-engineered nonwoven rolls and complementary products, and recurring roll service and reconditioning (regrinding, recovering, full reconditioning) executed at manufacturing and service centers in North America, Europe, and Asia. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales targeting OEM machine builders and large industrial accounts—including pre-sales application engineering, custom roll design consultation, and global on-site installation support—with channel sales through a certified value-added reseller (VAR) network in Mexico, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Turkey, France, and the United Kingdom. Pricing is custom-engineered per application with no public disclosure; NCCM's stated value proposition is that higher upfront cost is offset by 2–13× longer service life versus rubber or urethane alternatives, producing a lower total cost of ownership for the customer. Marketing channels include industry tradeshows (notably AISTech in the steel sector), case studies, white papers, product catalogs, 3D/2D models, a LinkedIn-led social presence, and a YouTube video library.

Core offering

NCCM manufactures and globally markets custom-engineered nonwoven rolls — including its flagship Premier Yellow, the N-Series (N2, NT, NS), R-Series (RU, RK), CX-Series (CX, CX-Plus), V-Series (Wiper Bar II, Mill Wipe), and Transport Rolls — as higher-performance, longer-life, repairable replacements for rubber, urethane, fabric, and carbide roll coverings used in OEM machinery, primary metals processing, automotive blank washing, and industrial applications. In parallel, the company sells complementary shafts, bearings, TOHO rolls, leveler rolls, urethane/rubber rolls, KwickSaddle drag-pad attachment systems, drag pads, and 3M Scotch-Brite brush rolls, and operates regional roll reconditioning services (regrinding, recovering, and shaft manufacturing) across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Product overview

NCCM manufactures high-value and custom-engineered nonwoven rolls for OEM, metals, automotive, and industrial markets. The product portfolio centers on the flagship Premier Yellow roll (made with 3M technology acquired in 2009), complemented by the N-Series (N2, NT, NS) for coil and sheet processing, R-Series (RU, RK) for table and bridle applications, and CX-Series (CX, CX-Plus) for chemically-resistant environments. Additional products include V-Series (Wiper Bar II, Mill Wipe) for wiping applications, Transport Rolls (skate wheels and table rolls), KwickSaddle drag pad attachment systems, and complementary offerings such as shafts, bearings, TOHO rolls, Leveler rolls, and urethane/rubber rolls. The company operates with a hybrid model combining proprietary nonwoven technology with acquired Thomas Trading products (TOHO rolls, Dearborn facility) following 2019 acquisitions.
