Executive Profile
Structure, clarity, alignment
DICA is a family-owned company dedicated to creating peace of mind through engineered solutions, outrigger pads, crane pads, ground protection, cribbing and sling protectors. We don't just sell plastic, we deliver solutions that protect people, equipment and worksites.
The story began with Dick and Carolyn Koberg, the “DI” and “CA” in the name, whose values of hard work, excellence and a win-win-win philosophy still guide the company today. As Dick often said, “If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.” That belief in quality and long-term thinking remains at the heart of who DICA is.
The value comes through three uniques: application expertise, world-class products and a win-win-win approach to business that ensures success for customers, partners and people. Guided by EOS and the core values, DICA Proud, Responsible and Committed, Matt serves as CFO, bringing structure, clarity and alignment across people, strategy, process and financial resources. His role is to keep DICA focused on scaling with purpose, building long-term partnerships and delivering the confidence that every setup will be safe and done right.
