Integra LifeSciences acquires Precise Dental group

The Precise Dental family of companies is comprised of Precise Dental Products, Precision Dental International, Precise Dental Holding and Precise Dental Internacional, a Mexican corporation.

The companies develop, manufacture, procure, market and sell endodontic materials and dental accessories, including the manufacture of absorbable paper points, gutta percha and dental mirrors. Together these companies have procurement and distribution operations in Canoga Park, California and manufacturing operations at multiple locations in Mexico.

Integra’s wholly owned subsidiary, Miltex, will integrate the acquired Canoga Park procurement and distribution functions into its York, Pennsylvania dental operations and will manage the manufacturing operations in Mexico.

Robert Perrett, president of the Integra Medical Instrument Group selling organization, said: “We are excited about the opportunities for our newly expanded dental business. We see the potential for considerable synergies from the combination of these manufacturing, procurement and distribution businesses with the Miltex dental business.”
