Iberoturbo

What Iberoturbo does

Iberoturbo – Sociedade Técnica e Comercial de Turbo-Compressores, Lda. is a Portuguese private limited company that operates as an official distributor of original turbocompressors for the Iberian automotive aftermarket, serving passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, industrial, agricultural, and maritime engine applications. The company holds official distribution rights for seven leading global turbo manufacturers: Garrett Motion, Holset, BorgWarner (including its VTG turbo core reconstruction program), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, IHI, BMTS Technology, and Continental. Core revenue is generated through B2B hardware sales of new OEM turbos, complemented by a Recondicionados line of factory-reconditioned units (notably Garrett reconditions and BorgWarner VTG cores with factory-calibrated geometry), and the distribution of the Revive water-based turbo cleaning fluid. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company leads its market positioning on rapid availability, offering a guaranteed 24-hour delivery SLA for new original units and 48 hours for refurbished units.

Iberoturbo reaches customers through a six-branch physical network spanning Lisbon (HQ in Queluz), Porto, Braga, the Algarve (Parchal), Ortigosa, and a warehouse in Leiria, combined with a group-level e-commerce storefront at shop.grupobomboleo.com and direct contact channels including phone, email, and WhatsApp. The customer mix is segmented across automotive workshops and repair shops (primary segment), fleet and commercial vehicle operators, industrial/agricultural/maritime end-users, and individual owners of older vehicles seeking cost-effective refurbished solutions. The company sells alongside technical-assistance and laboratory diagnostic services, and surfaces the Garrett Installer Connect training platform to support professional installer certification in Portugal.

The firm operates as a subsidiary of Grupo Bombóleo, a Portuguese automotive parts importer and distributor established in 1959, with no disclosed venture, private equity, or public shareholders. Iberoturbo's footprint is restricted to Portugal, with no evidence of international expansion or material new funding events in the available source material.
