Bergio is entering its 20th year of operations and concentrates on boutique, upscale jewelry stores. It currently sells its jewelry to approximately 150 independent jewelry retailers across the United States. Bergio has spent millions in branding the Bergio brand through tradeshows, trade advertising, national advertising, and billboard advertising since launching the line in 1995. Bergio has manufacturing control over its line as a result of having a manufacturing facility in New Jersey as well as subcontracts with facilities in Italy and Bangkok.
“We have established Bergio International as a holding company for the purpose of acquiring established jewelry design and manufacturing firms who possess branded product lines,” continues Abajian. “Additionally, Bergio intends to acquire design and manufacturing firms throughout the United States and Europe. If and when we pursue any potential acquisition candidates, we intend to target the top 10 percent of the world’s jewelry manufactures that have already created an identity and brand in the jewelry industry.”
