Combi Wear Parts

What Combi Wear Parts does

Combi Wear Parts AB is a Swedish steel foundry that designs, manufactures, and sells patented wear part systems for ground engaging tools used in construction, quarry, mining, and dredging operations. The company's core technology centers on the patented C-REX mechanical locking system (integrated locking ring with reusable pin, available across excavators from 10 to 360 tons and wheel loaders from 10 to 150 tons), complemented by ProTect bucket shrouds, ProMite white iron wear products, and the T-System, T-CAP, and Duracore ranges for cutter suction dredgers. All production is concentrated at the company's foundry in Ljungby, Sweden, using shell molding, automated forming cells introduced in 2023, recycled steel feedstock, and renewable electricity.

The company operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, Combi Casting, which provides customized casting services to OEM customers in forestry and goods handling. Combi Wear Parts sells exclusively through a global authorized dealer network (Creighton Rock Drill in North America with a dedicated Toronto logistics hub, Shorr Industrial in the Philippines, Kraemer Mining globally) and supplements channel sales with major trade show presence (MINExpo 2024, Bauma, CONEXPO 2026). Revenue is generated through hardware sales of wear part systems and aftermarket consumables (replacement teeth, pins, shrouds) plus professional services revenue from customized casting work, with all pricing handled through quote-based dealer transactions rather than public price lists. Sustainability is a stated differentiator: products are made from 100% recycled steel using renewable energy, the company achieved EcoVadis Bronze in August 2024, and recent industrial symbiosis partnerships with Paroc and Resand position it ahead of upcoming EU 2028 sand-recycling mandates.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• ESCO (Weir Group): ESCO, part of Weir Group, is a global direct competitor in ground engaging tools (GET) for mining, construction, and dredging. Their Nemisys and Ultralok tooth systems overlap with C-REX in target customers and channels.
• Bradken: Bradken is a global wear parts and casting specialist for mining, mineral processing, and rail. As a direct peer in cast wear parts (GET, crusher liners, mill liners), it competes with Combi's offering and casting services.
• Columbia Steel Casting Co. Columbia Steel is a US-based steel foundry producing replacement wear parts for mining, quarry, and aggregate equipment, including GET and crusher wear parts. Directly comparable in foundry-based wear parts manufacturing.
• Hensley Industries (Caterpillar): Hensley (a Caterpillar brand) is a major GET manufacturer for mining, construction, and aggregate markets. Direct overlap with C-REX, ProTect, and ProMite product categories.
• KorroPad / Ferroman (dredging wear parts): KorroPad and similar dredging-specific wear parts suppliers compete with Combi's T-System and T-CAP products in cutter suction dredger applications. Highly comparable niche dredging competitors.
• Verhoef Group: Verhoef is a Dutch steel foundry and wear parts manufacturer serving marine, dredging, and offshore markets — directly comparable to Combi's T-System, T-CAP, and Duracore dredging portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• Caterpillar (Cat GET): Caterpillar is a broad incumbent offering factory-installed and aftermarket GET systems across its full range of excavators and wheel loaders. The Cat 992 hot slag loader reference case shows direct overlap with Combi's installed base at end customers.
• Metso: Metso manufactures wear parts for mining and aggregates processing, including crusher wear parts and ground engaging tools. It is a larger incumbent with broader portfolio but serves overlapping end-customers in mining and quarry.
• Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions: Sandvik supplies mining and rock excavation equipment plus consumable wear parts (drill bits, breakers). Overlaps with Combi in mining customer segments, though Sandvik's product mix is more focused on drilling and crushing.

Others

• Creighton Rock Drill Ltd. Creighton Rock Drill is Combi's exclusive North American distributor and logistics partner, while also being a GET/rock-drill supplier in its own right. Useful ecosystem reference for North American channel dynamics.
