Coltène/Whaledent is a leading international company for the development, manufacturing and marketing of dental consumables and small equipment. The foundation for Coltène AG was laid in 1963 in the fields of production and trade with products for dentistry and construction chemistry. Numerous company mergers and reorganisation resulted in a focus on the dental market in the 70s, in particular on
impression taking materials and dental fillings. The takeover of the US company Whaledent, a specialist for parapulpal pins and posts, led to the formation of the Coltène/Whaledent company group in 1990 with intensified international alignment. Further company acquisitions supplemented the product range with a bias towards orthodontics, rotating instruments and a large number or dental consumables. Today, the Coltène/Whaledent Group owns production facilities in Switzerland, Germany, Hungary, Brazil and the USA as well as a worldwide distribution network with own subsidiaries and distribution partners. Across the globe, dentists and dental laboratories rely on products of the Coltène/Whaledent Group, for both traditional and implant-based treatment forms and tooth reconstructions.
