Two world market leaders cooperate

MELAG Medizintechnik GmbH & Co. KG and KaVo Dental GmbH agree on closer cooperation at the beginning of 2023. With their cooperation, MELAG and KaVo are forming a new excellence team that will additionally drive the future of instrument reprocessing with coordinated product and service offerings in order to continuously make daily work in dental practices safer, more reliable and more effective. The focus of the closer sales cooperation is, among other things, joint training for specialised trade partners as well as coordinated marketing and sales campaigns. Joint events for end customers are also planned worldwide. Stronger mutual support in the area of research and development is also planned for the future.

As an owner-managed family business, MELAG has established itself as the world market leader in practice hygiene with quality and innovative strength. Since the company was founded over 70 years ago, MELAG has been developing and producing innovative and technologically robust solutions for instrument reprocessing exclusively in Berlin, Germany. With its outstanding system solutions, including autoclaves, thermo washer disinfectors and sealing devices, MELAG has been able to continuously develop and significantly shape instrument reprocessing.

Under the slogan "Dental Excellence", KaVo Dental has been offering dental expertise and an almost complete premium product portfolio for dental practices and dental laboratories for over 100 years. KaVo has been a guarantor of outstanding premium products for over 100 years and, with a large number of patents and utility models, is the world's leading supplier in the dental instrument segment.

It is therefore not surprising that KaVo explicitly recommends products from MELAG for the preparation of its own premium instruments.

"The high standards of our own products and the values of an innovative, traditional company make MELAG the perfect partner for KaVo in dental instrument reprocessing. As a reliable 4-in-1 solution, the Careclave from MELAG harmonises perfectly with our high-quality KaVo instruments and is therefore also our clear recommendation for the reprocessing of our KaVo instruments"

says Armin Imhof, CTO at KaVo.
Dr Niklas Gebauer, managing partner of MELAG, adds:

"KaVo straight and contra-angle handpieces have always been the benchmark for us, not only in terms of quality and above-average durability. It is not for nothing that we have always tested intensively with KaVo instruments as well during the development of the Careclave."

At the International Dental Show in Cologne, which opens its doors on 14 March, the cooperation will then also be visible to the general public: the MELAG Careclave will also be on display at the KaVo stand and the Careclaves at the MELAG stand will be equipped with high-quality KaVo instruments.
