Joseph President Danaher, Middle East & Turkey Alex.Joseph@danaher.com Contact Information Regarding your dental com- panies, what does it mean for them being part of Danaher and what are your plans for them? A. Joseph: Our dental business has been a major contributor to our growth in the region. There is a big focus on dental care in the Middle East. Through our broad dental product portfo- lio and leading brands such as KaVo, Kerr and Ormco to name a few, Danaher serves custom- ers across all segments – from dental instruments, to treatment centers, to imaging equipment, to orthodontic technology and services, to dental consuma- bles– so we have a full gamut and we believe that we provide our customers the highest qual- ity dental products and solutions that serve 99% of dental prac- tices throughout the world. Can we expect to see more dental companies joining Da- naher? J. Lico: Well, we never comment on acquisitions but I think as Alex said that the dental market is a growth platform within Da- naher. Our commitment to the dental market and our custom- ers has been seen both in our organic and in-organic invest- ments over the years. We have recently announced our latest addition to our dental segment with the acquisition of Nobel Biocare which closed beginning of December 2014. Looking into the dental business, there are probably no better examples of investments than investing in high growth market parts of the world. The Middle East is no dif- ferent and our dental team here has really done an outstanding job over a number of years in- vesting in products, technology, sales and services resources to make sure that we can really deal with the growing customer base that exist in the region. Ob- viously, investing here in Dubai is a Danaher investment but it can very much be seen as an investment in our growth plat- forms, of which dental is a key component. What do you expect from our biggest media partner in den- tal here in the region in the coming year? J. Lico: Any partnership which can continue to reach our cus- tomers in a creative, innovative way is positive for us and we ask this from every partner in all of our industries. Extending our ability to communicate to our growing customer base is an im- portant part of our success in the region. A. Joseph: Thank you for com- ing and joining us for our grand opening. Dental Tribune: Thank you for the opportunity to inter- view you. 6th Dental-Facial Cosmetic Int’l Conference attracts 1,527 in Dubai By Centre For Advanced Professional Practices D UBAI, UAE: The 6th Dental-Facial Cosmetic International Confer- ence 2014 took place on 14-15 November 2014 closing with a total of 1,527 participant in Jumeirah Beach Hotel Dubai.
