Dentaurum invests in expanded production capacity
Dentaurum CEO Mark Stephen Pace has announced a significant investment in new manufacturing and operations facilities at its Corporate Headquarters in Ispringen, Germany.
The investment lays the foundations for the next chapter of business growth and reaffirms the company’s commitment to high-quality Made-in-Germany manufacturing and sustainability strategies.
Dentaurum has experienced steady growth over the past decade across all areas of its business. In particular, through in-demand products unique to Dentaurum.
- Orthodontics, with expansion screws, aligners and 3D retainers
- Prosthetics, with remanium® star powder for 3D printing, tioLogic® and implantology
- Ceramics, with ceraMotion® paste ceramics.
With the groundbreaking ceremony at Turnstrasse 36 in Ispringen, Dentaurum is creating the basis for generating sustainable future growth across its global marketing operations. The Ispringen-based dental technology manufacturer's building site is located directly opposite its long-standing headquarters and will offer more space for production, administration, and sales.
The construction consists of an advanced, contemporary production hall and a three-story building with production and office space, expanding the existing operating areas and office buildings by about 30%. The buildings will be connected to the main building to ensure a controlled environment for the goods and materials used to produce delicate dental products.
With these investments, Dentaurum is once again demonstrating future-focused leadership. The company has recently added an average of 10% more employees. Management innovation and organisational adaptation have kept pace with the prevailing political and economic conditions and enabled continued business growth.
Sustainably focused construction
With this structural expansion, Dentaurum once again commits to sustainability and resource conservation. For example, 40% of existing buildings will continue to be used after extensive energy-efficient renovation and repair.
To avoid further land sealing, the new three-story building will be built on the same site, replacing an old building but adhering to high ecological standards. The partially green roof areas will be covered entirely with PV (solar) panels. The extensive rainwater retention measures – some of which are open – also create an attractive environment for birds and insects. Courtyard and park areas will be covered with permeable concrete paving. The additional use of cistern water as service water rounds off the concept.

Clear commitment to Germany as a manufacturing location
Dentaurum has always acted with foresight, resilience, adaptability, drive, and tradition. Founded at Schulberg No. 10 in Pforzheim in October 1886, the company laid the foundation for the medical technology industry in Pforzheim and the region.
It is the oldest continuously existing dental company in the world, active in the dental industry from day one, and remains family-owned.
"Our history applies both an obligation and an incentive for us because we bear great responsibility for preserving and extending our legacy of leadership in the dental industry. We never act in the short term but always with an eye on future generations, true to our motto:
"We endeavour to create an economically strong business while contributing to maintaining an intact environment as a legacy to our children and future generations of employees". Our far-reaching social commitment underlines this. It is also visible in the continued clear commitment to our production site in Ispringen and quality "made in Germany", says Mark Stephen Pace. "We produce goods and services in Germany.”
At Dentaurum, more than 8,500 branded products are created in the highly sophisticated, modern production facility. As one of the few manufacturers and full-service providers, Dentaurum, together with its branch offices in 8 countries and dealers in over 130 countries, sets standards worldwide in orthodontics, prosthetics, implantology and ceramics.
Nationally and internationally, Dentaurum stands for the highest precision and quality. Customers appreciate the unique product portfolio in breadth and depth and the many years of expertise and excellent consulting quality associated with it.
DENTAURUM GmbH & Co. KG
Dentaurum, the oldest dental company in the world, was founded in 1886. For 138 years, the owner-managed family business has been developing, manufacturing, and selling a comprehensive range of products for dentists and dental technicians.
Dentaurum belongs to the 5% segment of the largest manufacturers of dental products in Germany. It is headquartered in Ispringen in Baden-Württemberg and manufactures its products mainly in Germany and France.
Dentaurum follows strict quality standards for excellent processing properties and high biocompatibility. The globally active dental company currently has more than 8,500 items in its range.
Numerous Dentaurum products for orthodontics, implantology, dental technology, and ceramics occupy a leading position in the markets. Dentaurum has branch offices in Benelux, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the USA, Canada, and Australia and is represented with first-class products in more than 130 countries. The company currently employs around 600 people worldwide.
Dentaurum was one of the first companies to fundamentally anchor sustainability in its corporate philosophy and all company areas in 1989. It has been continuously certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001 and EMAS since 1994. We are involved in selected social and sustainable projects because economic success without consideration for the environment is too short-sighted.
There is a forest area of over 15,000 m² on the Dentaurum company premises, which has not been touched by the structural extensions of the buildings in recent years. The construction of our buildings meets the highest ecological standards of the corresponding years of construction. A large part of the roofs is greened. Where light is needed, lighting is provided by LEDs, with intelligent control by dimmers, motion detectors or timers.
Waste heat and state-of-the-art control technology reduce primary energy consumption. Dentaurum also recycles as much water as possible. We attach great importance to service water reuse and rainwater harvesting.
