Dentsply Sirona

Dentsply Sirona traces its roots to humble beginnings: DENTSPLY International was founded as Dentists’ Supply Company in 1899 in New York City, and the company that became Sirona Dental Systems was founded in 1877 in Erlangen, Germany. Through our transformative merger in 2016, Dentsply Sirona has grown to become the world’s largest manufacturer of professional dental products and technologies, with approximately 16,000 employees, operations in more than 40 countries worldwide, and a sales presence in more than 120 countries.

Throughout the last century, as separate companies, DENTSPLY and Sirona have each invested significantly in innovation, new product development – from the first dental drill to the first reciprocating root canal file to, of course, the first chairside CAD/CAM system – and the broadest clinical education platform in the industry. Both companies recognized early on that the advantages of digitization are not in the individual device, but in the seamless interaction of hardware, software, and devices, creating an innovative solution for dental practitioners and dental patients.

At the heart of Dentsply Sirona is our unwavering commitment to innovation. As a result, our impact is significant: every year, our products and solutions reach 600,000 dental professionals, who treat over 6,000,000 patients daily, which translates to a billion patients each year! Practitioners rely on the quality and clinical safety of our products and on our more than 100 years of experience. We are committed to continue earning the trust of dental professionals for the next 100 years.

Elekta

“For almost five decades, Elekta has been a leader in precision radiation medicine. Our nearly 4,000 employees worldwide are committed to ensuring everyone in the world with cancer and brain disorders has access to – and benefits from – more precise, personalized radiotherapy treatments.

Elekta’s inherent, innovative strength fuels the development of precision radiation medicine. This comprises two elements: the opportunity to target radiation therapy with precision in a way that was previously impossible; and the ability to leverage the potential of enormous data volumes using intelligent automation, which improves the treatment processes, the ease of use, and the quality of life for patients.

We work actively to achieve a good balance between offering cost-effective care to as many people as possible, and the development of cutting-edge solutions for treating the most complicated forms of cancer.

This past year, Elekta reached pivotal milestones, shifting the treatment paradigm of radiation oncology for clinicians and patients across the globe. One example is Elekta Unity, a cutting-edge magnetic resonance radiation therapy (MR/RT) technology. Unity enables high-field MR images while radiation is being delivered, allowing clinicians to adapt treatment based on the patient’s daily anatomy. The ability to scan, plan and treat in real time has been the long-sought vision of radiation oncologists.

Elekta will continue to attentively assess its technologies, advancing new solutions to make cancer a more manageable disease. Our commitment is built on a combination of curiosity, innovation and proximity to our customers. We are proud to be the leading innovator in precision radiation medicine.”
