TRUCK COMPONENTS
Berco Truck Components is a supplier of bed systems and other interior parts to the European truck industry. We have been a solid partner for our customers for many years. We listen carefully and take the lead in the development of new products. We produce according to the highest automotive standards and supply our products worldwide.
Berco’s home base is located in Schijndel, the Netherlands. Both our development and production departments are located on one central location. This combination ensures that products and processes can be continuously improved. Our central location ensures us of a strong accessibility to our customers and our suppliers. BTC’s subsidiary Berco Brasil (BBR) supplies our products to the South American market from Brazil.
BTC develops all its products from start to finish. Our competencies include concept design and engineering, but we also have much more to offer such as an extensive testing department. We guarantee the quality of our products and those of our suppliers.

We innovate daily in every aspect of business operations, from the first sketch in our research and design department to the final product in the assembly halls. By doing this, we acquire new techniques to be self-sufficient. In addition to designing and producing products for our customers, we also work on Berco initiated developments in order to serve the market in an innovative way. We present these products to our customers in our future room.

We say what we do and we do what we say. We are building a network that is STIP, or has the potential to become one with our support. This network includes our long-standing customers, suppliers, educational institutions and our colleagues.
BBR and bti
Berco Brasil is our subsidiary in Brazil. It focuses on the growing South American market with the aim of local development and production. It is supported in this by Berco Truck Components (NL).
BBR has its own production facility in São Paulo and supplies customers such as Mercedes-Benz, Scania, DAF, and Iveco.
Berco Brasil originated from a former joint venture.
Berco also exports products to the North American market to customers such as Peterbilt and Kenworth. Especially for these products and all other future developments for the North American market we established B.T.I.; Berco Truck International.
The products and projects are developed and produced from Schijndel, the Netherlands.
Production
Berco has several facilities, each of which is designed in such a way that we can deliver a very high level of quality. There are, for example, a series of tailor-made ergonomic workstations and automated quality controls. Our highly varied and automated machine park carries out various production steps, such as cutting textiles, cutting and gluing mattresses, and drilling profiles.
As an example, Berco started setting up its own foam cutting line for the production of our mattresses in 2018. The second cutting line is now in place, allowing us to fulfill the wishes of our customers and accomplish our environmental targets.
See below a few examples of our production facilities.
testing and validation
Berco has its own testing department to check and guarantee the quality and lifespan of current and new products. By doing this we can control our own quality output, that of our suppliers, and make life easier for customers during new product development.
See below a few examples of the various possibilities we can offer to our customers.
