Berco

What Berco does

Berco S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer specializing in undercarriage systems and components for tracked heavy equipment used in mining, construction, and utility applications. The product portfolio centers on four component families — Track Group Assembly (TGA) chains, rollers (1,500+ catalog models), idlers, and drive sprockets (600+ models) — built through fully integrated in-house capabilities spanning design, forging, heat treatment, machining, and assembly at the Copparo (Ferrara) facility. The company traces its origins to 1920 and markets itself on more than 100 years of metallurgical know-how in crawler undercarriage manufacturing.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining OEM supply with a global dealer network spanning more than 80 countries, complemented by a multi-regional e-commerce platform (shop.berco.com) that offers 5,000+ SKUs through dedicated portals for Berco Aftermarket (Africa, Asia, Europe, South America) and Berco of America (North America). In 2025 Berco opened a new distribution center in Thailand to serve Southeast Asia and launched the Berco Service sub-brand targeting 13, 20, and 30 ton class excavators in the medium-range segment. The company maintains an active trade-show presence at Bauma, Conexpo, SMOPYC, Hillhead, EXPOSIBRAM, and Electra Mining as part of its brand-building and customer-acquisition motion.

Berco is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thyssenkrupp AG, a German diversified industrial conglomerate, and reports a workforce of 5,001-10,000 employees. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of undercarriage components under quote-based pricing that is gated to registered dealers and distributors via the e-commerce portal; aftermarket parts are sold through both dealer channels and direct online ordering. The company does not disclose revenue figures, management team details, patents, or certifications in the source material.
