On June 26, 2025, the ZCO - Zero Compromise Optic event took place in Margarethen am Moos, Austria. The company, which was established around six years ago by four visionary founders, can look back on an impressive success story. International partners from 18 countries (4 continents) accepted the invitation. Despite a highly competitive market and the tendency to manufacture in the Far East, ZCO managed to achieve quality leadership in the US sports sector within a year - exclusively through customer feedback and social media. The event was all about this success story, which focused on values such as quality, reliability, customer proximity and innovation.
A special highlight was the first-ever presentation of development and production “Made in Austria”. The international guests also had the opportunity to get to know the Group's sister companies, which are successful in various business areas with innovative, globally unique products, including the BEB Production Center, Steambow, Powerfluxx and Opos.
The event included an exciting panel discussion with international experts. Among the participants were Victor Contreras (Spain), Mindaugas Kašalynas (Lithuania), Diann Pennington(USA), Ken Wheeler (USA) and CEO ZCO Robert Artwohl (Austria). They provided insights into the technical development, performance in use, the US market and the importance of ZCO in the field of sport shooting. “Vision to Reality” The day was rounded off with guided tours of the companies, a gala dinner with a live performance by artist Emely Myles and numerous networking opportunities. "We look to the future with great optimism. Our focus on quality, innovation and customer satisfaction has enabled us to achieve a great deal, and we are firmly convinced that we will continue to set new standards with our unique products and our strong team. Together, we will continue to expand our position as a leading provider in the optical industry and develop innovative solutions for our customers worldwide," says CEO Robert Artwohl.
