Finnish Plandent Division expands into Belgium

Northern Europe's largest distributor of dental supplies Plandent Division is to expand its business into the Belgian market. The newly formed company Plandent Belgium Holding S.A., established by Plandent Oy and the Humblet and Demarbaix families, will become a new full-service dental supply company in Belgium. The new company has purchased 100% of Eki'P Dental S.A.'s share capital and Depot Dentaire Humblet S.A.'s operations. The aim is to strengthen Plandent Division's position in the growing Central European market.

"The arrangement combines the tradition-rich Humblet and Demarbaix family companies - Dental Depot Humblet S.A. and EKI'P Dental S.A. - and will enable more services and modern concepts to our customers due to the expertise and logistics of the Plandent Division," explains Tuomas Lokki, Vice President of the Planmeca Group.

The Plandent Division has local distribution companies in all the Nordic and Baltic countries as well as in the Netherlands, Germany, England and Austria. The Plandent Division provides dental care professionals with all the required solutions and services ranging from the advanced Planmeca dental equipment and software to a full variety of dental supplies and devices from leading manufacturers.
