Heraeus Kulzer acquires Italian CAD Company EGS Srl

Mergers and Acquisitions

German dental supplier Heraeus Kulzer GmbH strengthens its software competence and extends its portfolio in digital prosthetics. On October 1, 2014 Heraeus Kulzer has acquired the Italian CAD company Enhanced Geometry Solutions (EGS Srl).


EGS is a CAD/CAM company recognized for its leading 3D know-how and technology, targeted at the OEM market. Headquartered in Bologna, Italy, EGS distributes its technologies worldwide. With over 15 years of CAD/CAM experience EGS provides digital tools for the entire scanning, modelling and designing workflow in dental laboratories, including 3D scanners and CAD software. Next to its dental focus EGS offers digital solutions in areas such as aerospace, automotive, consumer products and sports.

Heraeus Kulzer, headquartered in Hanau, Germany, supports dentists and dental technicians worldwide with a broad range of products for digital and traditional techniques. With its cara CAD/CAM system Heraeus Kulzer offers a solution for the complete workflow in digital prosthetics. The range of indications in the cara manufacturing centers extends from milled or sintered crowns and bridges to implant suprastructures and abutments. As part of Mitsui Chemicals Inc., Tokyo, Heraeus Kulzer is continuously expanding the group's international healthcare business.

Open up new markets

By engaging in EGS, Heraeus Kulzer strengthens its software competence and extends its digital portfolio. "The experts from EGS have excellent know-how in the growing need for digitization of the dental value chain", Dr. Andreas Bacher, Head of Division Digital Services at Heraeus Kulzer GmbH, states. "Our customers will benefit from enhanced product and services development. EGS complements and extends our range of the cara CAD/CAM system by easy-to-use software and scanner modules at attractive prices. This enables us to open up new markets in digital prosthetics to spur our growth."

Emidio Cennerilli, CEO EGS, is equally convinced: "The competences and product ranges of Heraeus Kulzer and EGS ideally complement each other. Our customers in dental labs will enormously benefit from the collaboration of our experts teams. We trust that both companies' cultures will foster a strong collaboration leading to expansion of combined portfolio in the growing digital dental market."

As EGS will continue to operate independently all contact persons and offers for the customers of EGS remain unchanged.
