What Industrial Metalcaucho, S.L.U. does

Industrial Metalcaucho, S.L.U. is a Spanish designer and distributor of rubber, rubber-to-metal, and plastic independent aftermarket spare parts for the automotive industry, headquartered in Rubí, Barcelona. The company was founded in the late 1980s and operates a catalog of more than 30,000 active SKUs across three principal categories: shock absorbers, suspension, and engine mounts; cooling, water pipes, and turbochargers; and components and accessories such as connecting rods, suspension arms, silentblocks, bushings, transmission boots, and stabilizer bars. Its core technology centers on rubber-metal composite manufacturing combined with an in-house quality laboratory that performs thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy, 3D laser scanning, and mechanical testing of elastomer and plastic parts.

Metalcaucho generates revenue through B2B hardware sales of these parts to the automotive aftermarket, including independent repair shops, dealerships, and parts distributors. Orders are transacted through an embedded online catalog portal (mc.motorplan.biz) on a unit-pricing, pay-as-you-go basis, with the company maintaining a 14,000 m2 warehouse facility in Rubí that supports a 95-97% fill rate, 48-hour delivery across the Iberian Peninsula, and 10-day delivery for export markets. Quality is governed by an ISO 9001 v2015-certified management system covering design, development, production, and logistics processes.

Since 2020 the company has operated as a brand under TERREPOWER, a US-headquartered sustainable manufacturing platform that itself sits within a private equity ownership chain (Abac Capital, 2015; EQT, 2018). Under TERREPOWER, Metalcaucho has expanded into higher-value categories such as steering racks (more than 150 part numbers) and air suspension systems, while continuing to leverage its Iberian distribution density, catalog depth, and in-house quality control as its core competitive assets.
