Septodont Announces New Acquisition
Septodont, a leader in dental pain management, has announced a new strategic alliance with Importaciones Dental Universitario (IDU) of Cali, Colombia.

IDU was founded in 1996 by Abraham Paramo. The company’s business model began as supplying high-quality imported dental products focused at the university-level customer. This brought greater awareness into the Colombian dental community for premium products. Today, IDU is one of Colombia’s largest overall importers and resellers of dental products.

The Septodont/IDU alliance represents an opportunity to launch the Septodont product line into a country that has been challenging to penetrate. With the ultimate goal of organically helping IDU to build on its early business successes, the alliance allows both organizations to expand their presence and expertise in Colombia.
