Following the acquisition of French endodontics specialist MICRO-MEGA (Besançon) in autumn 2009, SycoTec, the supplier of dental equipment employing 350 staff at its headquarters in Leutkirch, is to become part of a strong group of companies under the leadership of SycoTec Managing Partner Dr. Martin Rickert. The two European companies are now to be joined by SciCan, a medium-sized Canadian company specialising in infection control in medical practices and employing 250 people. SciCan is the world's largest producer of table top autoclaves. Together the group will be one of the ten largest dental equipment manufacturers in the world of innovative products for the dental and medical markets. “We can now offer endodontics instruments, drives and infection control solutions, all from one source”, Dr. Martin Rickert is pleased to announce. The three companies are being integrated under one common umbrella, but will remain independent. It is not a buy-out; hence no purchasing price was paid. Merger related downsizing is not intended.
