Until 1986, it was business as usual in the heavy-duty truck brake shoe repair industry. The working conditions were brutally hot or bitterly cold, dirty and plagued by high labor turnover. The machinery itself was inefficient, antiquated and unreliable – breaking down constantly and bringing production to a screeching halt. Back then, a moderately busy shop might turn out 25-50 rebuilt shoes per day; a very busy shop rebuilt 75 shoes per day.
The time was right for John Nugier.
Nugier, educated as an accountant and raised in a machinery-manufacturing environment, had just finished developing and installing 150 sets of machines to make and repair truck driveshafts for what was then Rockwell International, now Arvin Meritor.
