Benco Dental Acquires Dental Design & Supply Co.
Arizona-based dental distributor to create presence in West.
WILKES-BARRE, PA (November 12, 2009) – Benco Dental, the nation’s fastest-growing distributor of dental products and equipment, today announced plans to acquire Arizona-based Dental Design & Supply Co. in early 2010.
Headquartered in Tucson, AZ, Dental Design is a full-service distributor. Its employees will be retained by Benco to fully serve the Tucson and Southern Arizona markets.
“The acquisition of Dental Design & Supply fits perfectly with our business and development strategy of seeking out like-minded companies who are intensely customer-focused and combining their strengths with our wide breadth of services and inherent efficiencies,” Benco President Chuck Cohen said.
Dental Design and its President, Rick Rogers, have been serving the Southern Arizona area for twenty-six years. Rick and his entire team, which combines for over 50 years experience, will remain in their current positions with Benco.
"Our goal at Dental Design & Supply has always been to be an asset to the practices we serve," Rick said. "Benco Dental will provide us with far more tools to accomplish that goal."
Dental Design marks the eighth such acquisition by Benco in the past year, strengthening the company’s presence throughout the United States.
