Dentaurum

For over a century, Dentaurum has played an integral role in the rich history of the dental industry, specifically in Pforzheim, Germany. Since its establishment in 1886, Dentaurum has been dedicated to manufacturing high-quality dental equipment and accessories, revolutionizing the field of dentistry. From the outset, Dentaurum focused on mass production, introducing a wide range of dental practice fittings, chairs, drills, and instrument cases. As the company gained momentum, it expanded its production capabilities by establishing additional facilities in Karlsruhe-Durlach & Lössnitz in the Erzgebirge region of Germany. With a steadfast commitment to excellence, Dentaurum quickly transcended national boundaries, achieving international success. In a landmark development, Dentaurum partially merged with the Ritter Dental Company based in Rochester, NY, USA, in 1924. This partnership paved the way for the manufacture of cutting-edge dental equipment. The resulting entity, Ritter-Biber AG, boasted a workforce of over 1,000 employees. However, the economic crisis of the 1920s presented formidable challenges, ultimately necessitating the sale of the equipment manufacturing division. Consequently, the equipment division began operating under the name “Dentaurum formerly Arnold Biber” in 1923. Celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2011, Dentaurum remains a stalwart in the dental industry. In 2010, the company underwent a name change from Dentaurum J. P. Winkelstroeter KG to Dentaurum GmbH & Co. KG, signifying its continued evolution and growth. Understanding the profound impact of digital transformation, Dentaurum has proactively invested in new technologies for many years. Dentaurum’s commitment to innovation is exemplified by being the first dental company worldwide to implement machine-packing for its brackets using blister packaging. Since October 2018, the discovery® smart brackets have been meticulously packaged under robot control in new, white acrylic blister packaging. With intelligent connectivity and optimized processes, Dentaurum has embraced digital transformation within its internal operations. Today, Dentaurum successfully leverages e-commerce and capitalizes on the diverse opportunities offered by online marketing. The entire company has embraced digital transformation, recognizing its central importance in shaping the future of dentistry. Dentaurum’s pioneering spirit and dedication to technological advancements continue to drive progress, ensuring that dental professionals worldwide have access to innovative solutions that enhance patient care and outcomes.
