The focus is on proximity to the <strong>Market, market development, creativity<\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0<strong>Innovation and personnel development.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Which brands belong to Dikar?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bergararifles.com\/de\/rifles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>BERGARA<\/strong><\/a> - Development and<strong> Production of sporting and hunting weapons<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.columbus-outdoor.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>COLUMBUS<\/strong><\/a> - Development of <strong>Outdoor products<\/strong> such as sleeping bags, rucksacks, tents, etc.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cva.com\/products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>CVA<\/strong><\/a> - one\u00a0<strong>Leading brand<\/strong>\u00a0in the US market for the development and production of <strong>Muzzle-loading weapons<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bpioutdoors.com\/powerbelt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">POWERBELT<\/a><\/strong> - <strong>Precision bullets<\/strong> for muzzle-loading weapons<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.quakeinc.com\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>QUAKE<\/strong><\/a> - <strong>Speciality products<\/strong> for hunting and outdoor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Who owns the Dikar company - this is where it gets exciting?<\/h3>\n<p>Stefanie explained to us that the DIKAR company is a kind of co-operative - one that operates in the<strong> Basque Country, quite common corporate structure<\/strong>. Each employee receives a<strong> positive probationary period of 5 years<\/strong> the possibility, <strong>Cooperative member of the company<\/strong> and receives 1 voting right. Each employee - including the management - receives <strong>1 Voting right<\/strong>. At the same time, an account is opened for the co-operative member. The<strong> Most of the profits are used for development<\/strong> invested - the rest distributed to the accounts.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>Interesting model for pension provision<\/strong> - but above all for the <strong>Employee motivation<\/strong>. As a co-owner, you probably stand behind your company in a completely different way than a pure employee with a payday. Perhaps that is one of the <strong>Secret to the success of the Bergara brand<\/strong> in a highly competitive market. Also interesting - the highest monthly income is about 4x as high as the lowest income.<\/p>\n<h3>Where are the markets in Bergara?<\/h3>\n<p>The main market is currently the USA. However, with the great success of the<strong> Hunting rifle series B14<\/strong> and the <strong>B13 Take Down<\/strong> the European market (including Austria and Germany) is becoming increasingly interesting. The <strong>Demand and quantities delivered within the EU<\/strong> speak a clear language.<\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>Sporting arms range<\/strong> or in hunting shooting, the <strong>B14 BMP or the B14 HMR<\/strong> presented this year at the IWA and at the Shot Show. The market launch is imminent. The response to the two sporting rifles has been very positive.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ddoptics.shop\/en\/production-and-manufacturing-bergara-hunting-weapons-sporting-weapons\/\" class=\"button success is-success is-medium\">\n\t\t<span>Here to part 2<\/span>\n\t<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Invitation to visit Bergara Weapons in the Basque Country.
