Elevating the Work of Dentists to a New Level
Interview with Yoshitaka Nakamura, CEO of MANI MEDICAL GERMANY GmbH
In the dynamic world of dentistry, high-quality materials and reliable products are essential for dental laboratories and dentists. Companies like MANI MEDICAL GERMANY GmbH, which focuses on the private label business, are setting standards in the industry by developing innovative solutions tailored to the specific needs of their customers. With over 40 years of experience and a strong focus on research and development, MANI MEDICAL GERMANY offers a wide range of dental composites and adhesives, teeth whitening materials, and dental plastics.
MANI MEDICAL GERMANY is a leading manufacturer specialized in composites, dental plastics, whitening gels for tooth bleaching, and dental adhesives. The company pursues a business model tailored to the specific needs of its customers and supports clients worldwide in the approval of medical devices.
Foundation for Innovation
The company was founded over 40 years ago and has continuously evolved since then. In 2015, it was acquired by Japan's MANI Inc., leading to a modernization of processes and intensive collaboration with the parent company in Japan.
The renaming of GDF to MANI MEDICAL GERMANY in 2023 underscores this close connection. In the same year, MANI MEDICAL GERMANY relocated its headquarters and production site to the newly built location in Rosbach, which significantly expanded production capacities and allowed for the inclusion of state-of-the-art laboratories.
"This created an excellent working environment and strengthened the innovative power of our company," said Yoshitaka Nakamura, who joined MANI Inc. last October and took over the management of MANI MEDICAL GERMANY in May. "It is particularly remarkable that our research and development department, which accounts for 10% of the total staff of 125, leads MANI MEDICAL GERMANY to the forefront of innovation."
Applications for the needs of customers
MANI MEDICAL GERMANY supports customers worldwide in the area of licensing dental consumables, to ensure that the products comply with international standards.
"Recently, there is a growing demand for as biocompatible materials as possible, which protect both patients and dental staff," explains Yoshitaka Nakamura. "MANI MEDICAL GERMANY is among the few manufacturers that already have such materials in their portfolio today."
The company aims to further diversify its product portfolio in the future and to develop products not only for the restorative field but also for root canal treatments. These innovative materials not only offer durable and aesthetically pleasing results but also improved handling in dental practices and laboratories.
Pioneers in Development
The Private Label business is the main field of activity for MANI MEDICAL GERMANY. The company supplies customers worldwide, with close cooperation with the parent company MANI Japan playing a key role. MANI MEDICAL GERMANY regularly presents itself at important trade fairs such as IDS and other international events.
"Our philosophy is to contribute to the health and well-being of patients worldwide by providing dentists and dental technicians with high-quality materials and innovative solutions," notes Commercial Director Henry Petrick, who has been part of the company since 2020. "This goal, to deliver the best possible quality, drives both MANI MEDICAL GERMANY and MANI Japan."
The Japanese business culture, which emphasizes long-term planning and continuous improvement, is reflected in the company's strategic orientation. As a European organization within the MANI Group, MANI MEDICAL GERMANY strives to establish itself as a synonym for health and excellent aesthetic results. Developing new materials with unique properties is intended to help dentists and dental technicians elevate their services to a new level and achieve optimal results.
MANI MEDICAL GERMANY is not only a manufacturer of dental materials but a pioneer in the development of innovative and customer-specific solutions. With strong leadership, dedicated employees, and a clear strategic orientation, the company is well-equipped to meet the challenges of the future and continue to be successful in the market.
