BERNHARD Agencies has been associated with GLOCK G.m.b.h and been a importer, distributor and wholesaler of their products since 2003.

It has come to our attention that a great deal of misinformation has been disseminated and distributed surrounding our business in general and our relationship with GLOCK G.m.b.h. in particular. The purpose of this release is to address this.

Importation figures have been quoted which are, frankly, laughable and so far removed from the truth that they should be dismissed out of hand. Simply put, no firearms importer could possibly survive if they limited their importation to the figures quoted, particularly in the light of the relatively small wholesale margins and the cost associated with our unparalleled support with regard to spares, accessories and service.

BERNHARD AGENCIES regards our importation figures as confidential information and any speculation as to the numbers of firearms and other goods which we import is nothing more than that, speculation.

We sincerely hope that the disseminators of this misinformation are merely speculating and are not relying on information sourced through unlawful means.

Insofar as it has been alleged that certain massive discounts are “coming” GLOCK G.m.b.h’s position with regard to its importers is that GLOCK G.m.b.h set recommended pricing bands for their products.

BERNHARD Agencies’ business ethos has always been driven by its resolute dedication to offering quality products at reasonable prices with outstanding support to its end users and dealers.

We reaffirm our commitment to do so in future.
