Berco of America

What Berco of America does

Berco (operating in the Americas market as Berco of America) is a manufacturer of crawler undercarriage systems for off-highway machines used in the mining, construction, forestry and agriculture sectors. The company is headquartered in Copparo, Italy, and operates as a subsidiary of the ThyssenKrupp industrial conglomerate, with a corporate domain under thyssenkrupp.com. The Berco brand is associated with more than 100 years of experience in crawler undercarriage manufacturing, although the firmographic record lists a founding year of 1994 (likely reflecting the corporate-entity or Americas-entity formation rather than the brand origin).

Berco's product line is organized around four core component families: Track Group Assembly (TGA) for track chains, Rollers (a catalog of 1,500+ models), Idlers (cast, fabricated, or forged), and Sprockets (600+ models). The company vertically integrates the manufacturing process from design through forging, heat treatment, machining and final assembly. These components are sold into six application segments — Mining Excavator, Mining Dozer, Construction Excavator (medium range), Construction Dozer (medium range), Utility/Mini, and Other Applications — supporting both OEM specification and the replacement/aftermarket channel.

The business model is industrial hardware sales through a two-tier channel: an authorized dealer network spanning more than 80 countries provides global reach and localized service, while a corporate e-commerce storefront enables direct online purchasing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and customer engagement is conducted via the dealer network or direct contact. End customers are heavy-equipment operators, contractors, and OEMs across mining, construction, utility, forestry and agriculture. Marketing is carried out through the corporate website, a dealer locator, and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube). The company's leadership is identified as Gianni Bertoni, Chief Executive Officer.

Broad incumbents

• John Deere (Construction & Forestry): John Deere's construction and forestry division produces tracked excavators and dozers, competing with Berco's served equipment population. As an OEM with its own undercarriage sourcing, it represents an indirect competitor for both new-equipment content and aftermarket parts.
• Liebherr: Liebherr manufactures mining excavators, dozers, and crawler cranes with in-house undercarriage production. Comparable to Berco through both end-equipment overlap and the undercarriage component category, though Liebherr primarily serves its own OEM demand.
• Caterpillar: Caterpillar is the largest mining and construction OEM globally and manufactures undercarriage components in-house for its own equipment. It is comparable to Berco as both an OEM undercarriage producer and an indirect competitor for aftermarket parts across the same installed base.
• Komatsu: Komatsu is a major mining and construction OEM that produces undercarriage systems for its excavators and dozers. As a vertically integrated competitor with significant market share in mining, it competes with Berco in both OEM supply and aftermarket parts.
• Hitachi Construction Machinery: Hitachi Construction Machinery produces large mining excavators and construction equipment with proprietary undercarriage systems. It competes with Berco in the same end-equipment categories and uses captive undercarriage supply.
• Volvo Construction Equipment: Volvo CE manufactures tracked excavators and other construction equipment serving the same end markets as Berco. Its undercarriage requirements for new machines create both a potential OEM customer relationship and indirect competitive pressure on Berco's aftermarket.

Direct peers

• Titan International: Titan International manufactures off-the-road (OTR) tires, wheels, and rubber track systems for agricultural, construction, and mining equipment. Comparable to Berco through its undercarriage-adjacent product line serving the same off-highway equipment end users.
• ITM: ITM (formerly ITR/Italtrack) is a direct competitor in aftermarket undercarriage components for heavy equipment, offering track chains, rollers, idlers, and sprockets with a comparable product portfolio to Berco across mining and construction applications.
• Camso (Michelin): Camso, now part of Michelin, produces rubber tracks and undercarriage systems for compact track loaders, agricultural equipment, and snowmobiles. Comparable to Berco in the broader undercarriage component category, though with a focus on rubber tracks rather than steel crawler systems.

Emerging players

• Soucy Track: Soucy Track manufactures rubber track systems for compact equipment and off-road vehicles. It overlaps with Berco's utility/mini undercarriage segment but focuses on rubber rather than steel undercarriage technology, positioning it as an emerging adjacent competitor.
