Company History
Schütz Dental GmbH was founded in 1962.
Many years of experience with an intuition for new trends ensure the company's leading position in the world today. An in-depth knowledge of the market allows for quick and flexible decision making to the benefit of the customer.
The company headquarters are based in Rosbach, Germany, just 25 km north of Frankfurt International Airport. A key factor in enabling Schütz Dental Group products to be sold to all the major markets across the world.
Training is a major focus of Schütz Dental Group. This includes a wide range of training courses for products and techniques at Schütz Dental facilities, as well as in various well-respected dental labs and dental clinics across Germany, in cooperation with the company. Many distinguished speakers from the dental field support us at our events, at exhibitions and congresses world-wide. Special events, brochures, posters, and patient information literature are all provided to support our valued customers in their own marketing exercise.
Nowadays, manufacturers of Medical Devices must be ISO-certified. Schütz Dental Group was one of the first companies in the world to gain certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 and DIN EN ISO 13485, and our medical devices are manufactured to ISO-certified standards. Materials and equipment for dentistry and dental engineering form the backbone of Schütz Dental Group and cover such specialisms as CAD/CAM technology, implants and implant navigation software, TMJ analysis as well as high-tech chemistry. All our products are optimally adjusted to each other.
Research and development are a totally independent part of Schütz Dental Group. Fully qualified chemists (with doctorates), complimented by a large staff of qualified personnel, cover the complete spectrum, with each team specializing in a different field of chemistry. Certified engineers and a large staff of technicians are responsible for the construction of CAD/CAM hardware and software, implant systems, casting units and denture cleaning equipment - to name just a few.
Fundamental research allows for the development of materials beyond the world of dentistry: hearing aids, high precision acrylics for metallurgic testing of structural components, as well as materials for the cosmetic and veterinary industries. In the development of high-tech materials, our team of professionals cooperates closely with eminent facilities such as the Charité in Berlin, the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich and the Frauenhofer Society.
