HELSINKI, Finland—Planmeca Oy has entered into a binding contract to acquire the KaVo Treatment Unit and Instrument business from Envista Holdings Corporation. Both companies will continue to operate as independent businesses, while future synergies will be sought in products, technology innovations and distribution network. 

“This partnership will make us a very strong player in the dental field. I believe our companies are a great match—we share the same standards and passion for high technology, quality and innovation, and for offering a complete digital workflow for our customers. We also share similar company cultures with a strong family business heritage. Caring for our employees and focusing on our customers have always been important values for us both,” said Heikki Kyöstilä, the owner, founder and CEO of Planmeca Group. 

“We have always had great admiration for KaVo as a premium brand. This partnership will allow us to provide exceptional value to both our customers and distributors. Our mission is to become the world’s leading provider of digital dental solutions,” said Tuomas Lokki, senior vice president of Planmeca Group. 

The transaction is expected to close at the end of 2021. A 51% stake of the KaVo Treatment Unit and Instrument business will be acquired by Planmeca Oy, and the remaining 49% by Heikki Kyöstilä as a private individual. After acquisition completion, Planmeca Group will employ a total of 4,500 people worldwide.
