A-DEC Broadens Distribution Through New Partnership

Newberg, Ore. – January 7, 2015 – A-dec announced today a new and broadened distribution strategy, opening Henry Schein Dental in the U.S. and Canadian markets in the second quarter of 2015. “We believe dentists should have more access to A-dec products,” says Scott Parrish, A-dec CEO & President. “This change recognizes the strong relationships that dentists have with their dealer, and allows us to bring our equipment to a broader group of dentists,” says Parrish. Henry Schein Dental is a division of Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ:HSIC), the world’s largest provider of health care products and services to office-based dental, animal health and medical practitioners.

A-dec just completed a very successful 2014, and remains strongly committed to its existing distribution partners. “We have a unique culture here at A-dec based on integrity and concern for people, and that’s not going to change,” Parrish emphasized. “We have partnered with dentists for more than 50 years, developing products that revolutionized the way dentists care for their patients,” says Parrish. “We truly believe that in the long-term, this expansion of partnerships will benefit everyone in the industry and at A-dec.”
