OSLO, Norway: Norsk Dental Depot, a Norwegian supplier of equipment, consumables and services to the dentists and dental laboratories owned by dental equipment manufacturer Planmeca, has moved to new premises in Oslo. The new facility features a high-technology centre offering 3-D and CAD/CAM training for dental professionals in Norway.

Planmeca’s growing CAD/CAM business, which was strengthened only recently with a strategic investment in US-based medical device company E4D Technologies, has created a need for extensive training for the company’s distribution and customer network in over 120 countries.

“We are excited to receive customers here at a building which has already won international awards for architecture and environmental thinking to demonstrate the smart digital workflow and 3-D technology of a modern dental clinic,” said Ragnar Pettersson, Norsk Dental Depot’s CEO.

The opening of the training centre in February, which was celebrated with 300 customers and partners, also marked the 110^th anniversary of Norsk Dental Depot. The company became part of Planmeca in 1995 and employs more than 100 people.
