Costex Tractor Parts

What Costex Tractor Parts does

Costex Tractor Parts (CTP) is a Miami-headquartered, privately held supplier of new aftermarket replacement parts for heavy equipment manufactured by Caterpillar, Komatsu, Perkins, and John Deere. Founded in 1980 and operating across 15+ countries, CTP distributes an 18-category product portfolio spanning engine components, hydraulics, undercarriage, filters, ground engaging tools, turbochargers, bearings, and complete overhaul kits. The company manufactures selected product lines in-house at its Miami headquarters—including gaskets, gasket kits, engine kits, hardware, and complete engines—and holds an authorized Factory-Direct distribution partnership with NTN Corporation for bearings, maintained for over 20 years.

CTP's business model is a hybrid direct-and-channel parts distribution operation. Revenue is generated through quote-based one-time sales of replacement parts, with pricing not publicly disclosed and new customers required to create accounts. The company operates a multi-channel go-to-market: direct sales via phone (1-800-321-2451) and the CTP Online System; a global dealer network with portal access; online auctions for discounted inventory; and the CTP Store e-commerce platform for merchandise and collectibles. Distribution is anchored by the Miami headquarters and Free Trade Zone facility (32,028 sq. ft.) plus a 50,000+ sq. ft. warehouse in Coppell, Texas. Target customers span construction, mining, agriculture, trucking, marine, oil & gas, forestry, and generator operators requiring quality aftermarket alternatives to OEM parts.

Marketing is conducted through trade show participation (Texas Trucking Show, Mid-America Trucking Show), the monthly Insidetrack newsletter, a multi-platform social media presence including CTP TV on YouTube, and the Freddy the Filter Fan Club customer engagement program. The company holds ISO 9001 quality certification for rubber track manufacturing and emphasizes a 'Quality with Value Guaranteed' brand promise. Ownership remains with founders Gilberto and Teresa Uribe, and the company has not disclosed external institutional investment.
