Glidewell Laboratories has struck an alliance with Shofu of Japan to bring BruxZir Solid Zirconia directly to the Japanese dental market.
Under the terms of the partnership, Shofu will have exclusive rights to distribute the restorative dental material to dental laboratories and dentists. With the addition of both BruxZir Solid Zirconia and the new BruxZir Shaded Solid Zirconia to Shofu's product portfolio, Shofu Japan's customers will now have local access to Glidewell's lines of monolithic zirconia material.
The partnership with Shofu, a company with $165 million in global annual revenues, marks Glidewell's entry into the Asian market.
