ProRepair ISO Registered

Specifically, the ISO registration signifies that the Company has achieved ISO 9001: 2000 EN 46002 certifications. With operations across the United States and abroad, ProRepair provides repair services for dental hand pieces, and other small dental, medical and veterinary equipment, operative and surgical instruments, sterilizers and laboratory hand pieces.

ProRepair's Livermore facility houses the sterilizer and small dental equipment repair operations for the Western states. The Company's Gaithersburg, Md. facility, which repairs only tabletop sterilizers for the Eastern and Central states, became ISO registered within the past year.

"With this latest ISO registration, we believe ProRepair is the only domestic dental dealer with ISO registered repair centers," explained Ron Appel, Vice President and General Manager of Henry Schein's ProRepair Division. "Our customers have always known about our total commitment to quality assurance and customer service, but this official international recognition of our emphasis is a true distinction within the industry."

Henry Schein's European-based ProRepair facilities, its distribution centers in the United Kingdom, Spain and Holland, as well as four of the Company's major North American distribution centers and its New York corporate headquarters, are also ISO registered.
