Company Information Capitol Clutch & Brake, Inc. (CCB) was founded in the 1940's in downtown Sacramento, CA. In the mid-1960's, the company operated out of a small, dark building (about 4000 sq. ft.) on 'S' Street, with about six employees. At that time, CCB handled primarily light-duty automotive products, and focused it's machine shop efforts on passenger car brake shoes and drums. CCB was purchased in 1966 by Grady Mathews, who moved his family from the San Francisco Bay Area to Sacramento. Grady's background was in heavy-duty friction components for trucks, busses, and off-road equipment, having worked in sales for the S.K. Wellman Company from 1955 to 1966. The focus at CCB changed accordingly, and gradually the inventory and sales efforts shifted towards heavy duty vehicle parts. After a few rough years getting started, the business began to grow in earnest in 1970. In 1972, Grady's son Vince joined the business as a delivery driver while still in high school. Hollis McNatt joined the company in 1973 as a machinist. |
