BONN, Germany: The world’s largest manufacturer of dental products and technologies, Dentsply Sirona and SICAT, provider of software and hardware solutions for the dental sector, have agreed that SICAT will be taken over entirely by its own management from 1 January.

Dentsply Sirona announced that it will sell its shares of SICAT to HICAT, which is owned by the management and employees of SICAT. However, the two companies will continue their strategic partnership without any changes experienced by their customers. The existing SICAT products that are sold by Dentsply Sirona will continue to be offered to their customers as before.

“Both Dentsply Sirona and SICAT profit from this agreement. We look back on over 14 years of shared history where both companies have grown. Now, we are taking our successful collaboration to a new level. This will offer each partner more flexibility in their options and put them in better positions to diversify their products individually,” said Michael Geil, Managing Director of Dentsply Sirona’s Bensheim site and Group Vice President of Equipment and Instruments.

“We are very pleased to have found such a good solution for the future of SICAT and to manage the company completely independently. SICAT will remain a strategic partner of Dentsply Sirona for the development of software-based solutions for X-ray imaging. We will continue our excellent collaboration, but can now focus more specifically on our customers. In addition, we are now able to offer our solution to the entire dental market,” added Jochen Kusch, Managing Director Marketing and Sales at SICAT.
