NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: A record 42 German dental companies will be exhibiting their products and services at the upcoming Greater New York Dental Meeting (GNYDM). The meeting coincides with the 100th anniversary of the Association of the German Dental Industry (VDDI), ensuring that there will be much to celebrate. Ahead of GNYDM, Dental Tribune International spoke with Rolf Kleiner, Area Sales Manager for Schick Dental, about the importance of the relationship between the German and American dental industries.

Dental Tribune International: What are the strengths of the German dental industry, and how are these relevant for the U.S. market?
Rolf Kleiner: Some things that immediately come to mind are our reliability and our decades of experience. Germany is a leader in dental technology, with state-of-the-art products, as well as an emphasis on tradition, with family businesses often being operated by the second or third generation. These things can easily be adapted to the American market.

How do you see the relationship between the German and American dental industries progressing?
The 2016 GNYDM will be the largest presentation of German dental technology ever in North America. This is a clear statement of our close economic cooperation and the will to cement ties.

What can Schick Dental offer the American dental industry? How important is this market to your company?
Since 1963, Schick has stood for innovation and premium products for dental technicians. Our focus is on user-oriented, practical solutions, developed in close collaboration with leading dental technicians and customized for each market.

With over 50 years of experience, Schick is well able to address all requests from this very special and important market. We are attending several shows in the U.S. this year and the 2016 GNYDM is the most important one. The centennial of the VDDI and the Science Lab—a special future-themed show—will be highlights, as we will be given the opportunity to present our company’s expertise to the broader public—in a unique manner! The U.S. market is a very tough and competitive one, but Schick Dental’s exceptional products and skills are a key advantage.

What products will Schick be exhibiting at GNYDM?
We will be presenting visitors with QUBE, our latest development in laboratory motor technology. As a leading innovator in the dental industry, we have set a new benchmark in optimizing and perfecting the laboratory workstation with QUBE. At the heart of the system is an intelligent operating satellite controlled by a touch-sensitive surface. All functions and parameters can be called up and controlled with this satellite. Other products we are pleased to be showcasing include the G2 Concept saw, with its segmented diamond saw blade and line-marking laser, the brushless Q Basic laboratory handpiece system and L Protect, the ultimate combination of glass-based protection and illumination.
