About Blumaq
Blumaq is a family-owned aftermarket parts manufacturer founded in 1992 in Vall de Uxó, Castellón, by Vicente Ballester — built on a single conviction: <em>create a real alternative to the official OEMs</em> for spare parts and maintenance products in heavy machinery, at OEM-level quality. Three decades later, Blumaq ships <strong>3 million+ parts annually</strong> to <strong>168 countries</strong> from a <strong>6,000+ m²</strong> warehouse, with delivery commitments of <strong>24h Europe / 48h worldwide</strong>.
Douglas Equipment now carries Blumaq — a third aftermarket pillar alongside CTP and ITR. Where CTP delivers Miami-local Cat depth and ITR delivers multi-OEM undercarriage volume, Blumaq adds European-forged engine components, full Cummins coverage, and authorized Berco undercarriage. The Berco distinction matters: Blumaq is an authorized Berco distributor, the global benchmark for crawler undercarriage on earthmoving equipment — putting OEM-grade Berco track systems within our parts portfolio.
Blumaq runs to OEM-grade quality assurance through the Blumaq Technical Center (BTC) — independent facilities in Spain housing R&D engineers, a metrology lab with 3D laser measurement, dedicated test benches, parts-analysis stations, and a workshop. "Quality comes from inside," in their own words. Every batch is dimensionally verified before despatch — not sampled, but traced.

Why Blumaq Earns a Premium Tier
Most aftermarket suppliers buy crankshafts from a forge and resell. Blumaq owns the forging line. That control matters because the crankshaft is the most expensive single component in an engine rebuild — and the one with the lowest tolerance for imitation. A traceable, Spanish-forged crankshaft, verified on a 3D laser bench inside the Blumaq Technical Center, is what mining-fleet operators ask for by name when a 3406, KTA19, or QSL9 needs to come back online for another 12,000-hour cycle.
The Berco partnership doubles the credibility envelope. Berco is the OEM-grade benchmark for crawler undercarriage, used by major equipment manufacturers themselves. Blumaq carries the authorized Berco distribution rights for Spain, Turkey, South Africa, Zambia and Indonesia — the same supply chain that Douglas Equipment now extends to your fleet through this representation.
"Whoever trusts Blumaq in the rest of the world is sure to get the same treatment in the Middle East."
— Vicente Ballester, founder & manager, Blumaq
Where to spec Blumaq inside our 3-brand portfolio:
- Mining and large-fleet engine rebuilds — where engine downtime is measured in lost tonnage per day, and the crankshaft cannot fail.
- Cummins coverage — NT855, KTA19, QSL9, QSX15, ISX-series. CTP and ITR don't carry these.
- Berco undercarriage — when the application demands the OEM-grade undercarriage benchmark, not value-tier alternatives.
- Forged crankshafts for Cat 3306 / 3406 / 3408 / 3412 / C13 and Cummins NT855 / KTA19 with documented forge traceability.
- Premium engine overhaul kits when the operator has been burned by import-tier parts and wants OEM-grade build quality without OEM list pricing.
Available Component Categories
- Undercarriage — track rollers, carrier rollers, sprockets, chains, idlers, shoes
- Engine — overhaul kits, pistons, liners, bearings, gaskets
- Hydraulics — cylinders, pumps, seals, hoses
- Filters — oil, hydraulic, fuel, air
- Ground Engaging Tools — teeth, adapters, cutting edges
- Cross-Reference — search by OEM part number
