History

Established in 1989, USCO acquired ITR in 1994 and began manufacturing spare parts and repair parts.

Acquisition of new manufacturing and distribution enterprises in certain key markets led to continual expansion of the product range, which now includes rubber and steel undercarriage components (chains, rollers, sprockets and segment groups, shoes, bolt-on and clip on rubber pads, vulcanized rubber and polyurethane shoes and city-pads), G.E.T. (blades, end-bits, profiles, armored plates and wear buttons, sidebar protectors for buckets, heel shrouds, lip shrouds, teeth, adapters, rippers and blades for graders), buckets, loading ramps, hydraulic hammers and spare parts for earth moving machines compatible with Caterpillar® and Komatsu® machines (frame components, transmission parts, engine parts, cooling system parts, hydraulic parts, pumps for earth moving machines, components for pneumatic systems, air and oil filters, electrical and cab parts).

USCO has focused a great deal of attention on logistical-distribution factors, thereby achieving rational re-organization and efficient technical-manufacturing localization.
