Kavo Group inks deals worth $8m

Kavo Group, a global R&D manufacturer of dental products and equipment, signed a package of deals valued at more than $8 million at the fourth China International Import Expo, showing its strong commitments to the Chinese market.

According to Julie Xing, global senior vice president of the Kavo Group, the China market is recognized as one of the world's global economic growth engines, and she is confident in the future development of China's dental market.

She said in addition to continuing improvements to the local industrial value chain and responding to the future needs of the China market as quickly as possible, Kavo Group will also lead the transformation from "Made in China" to "Created in China" through homegrown innovation.

Since its entry into the China market in 2006, the company has strengthened its localization by setting up an R&D center in Shanghai and factories in Suzhou, Jiangsu province and Ziyang, Sichuan province.

Founded at the start of the 20th century, NYSE-listed KAVO Group has been known as the "one-stop solution" in the dental industry. Focusing on "precision dentistry", Kavo Group will bring the new digital products to the Asian market, namely DTX StudioTM (a digital diagnosis and treatment comprehensive software suite), X-GuideTM (a dynamic 3D implant navigation system), and the newly upgraded SPARKTM (an invisible orthodontic system). It is the first launch of these products in China, showing a promising picture of dental precision.
