- Integration will strengthen Proclinic’s market reach across the Netherlands, Benelux, Germany, and Nordic regions.
Proclinic Group (Proclinic), a leading provider of comprehensive dental solutions backed by Miura Partners, continues its European expansion through the acquisition of Dentalair.
Founded in 1964 and based in Dordrecht, Netherlands, Dentalair has established itself as a full-service dental depot, offering consumables, technical equipment, and specialized clinic design and construction services. This acquisition aligns with Proclinic’s growth strategy, enhancing its distribution network and positioning it as a primary dental supplier in key European markets.
By integrating Dentalair, Proclinic will leverage on Dentalair’s strategically located warehouse in Dordrecht to deliver products across Benelux, Germany, and the Nordics in under 48 hours. These capabilities complement Proclinic’s existing logistics hubs in Zaragoza (Spain), Dijon (France), Kielce (Poland), and Verona (Italy), boosting its operational efficiency.
With nearly 150 employees and a client base exceeding 3,000, Dentalair reported revenues of €75 million in 2023. Proclinic anticipates a combined turnover of €400 million in 2024 following the integration.
Manuel Alfonso, CEO of Proclinic Group, commented:
“The acquisition of Dentalair is a major milestone for Proclinic as it allows us to consolidate our leadership in Europe, gain access to strategic markets such as the Netherlands, Benelux, Germany, and the Nordics, and explore synergies like cross-selling opportunities. Dentalair is an excellent partner, a leader in its country, with whom we share a strong foundational family legacy.”
Harald Hagesteijn and Max Hagesteijn, shareholders of Dentalair, emphasized:
“In recent years, we have worked hard on growth in the Netherlands, but to realize our ambitions within Europe, the partnership with Proclinic is logical in a consolidating market. With the expertise, knowledge and experience in the field of exclusive labels and distribution we can take the next steps together.”
