Amann Girrbach

Amann Girrbach is an Austrian dental-industry company that develops and manufactures products and systems for dentists and dental technicians. Its headquarters is in Mäder, Austria, where the company says products are developed and manufactured. The company distributes its products in more than 90 countries. Its principal area is integrated digital dental prosthetics: hardware and software that support the dental workflow and the production of dental restorations. The German-language company overview identifies milling machines, software solutions and materials as central product areas. Its broader offering includes equipment for scanning, model production, milling and sintering; dental materials such as zirconia, metals, plastics and gypsum; CAD/CAM software; and products for implant prosthetics. The company formed in 2004 through the combination of the family businesses Amann Dental GmbH and Girrbach Dental GmbH. Its history draws on an earlier Girrbach business founded in Pforzheim in 1936 and on founder Dietmar Amann's development of a milling device and articulator in 1973. Amann Girrbach expanded internationally, including establishing a Tampa branch in 2006. It began producing zirconia blanks in 2007. The ownership history in the supplied evidence records an investment by TA Associates in 2010 and a majority acquisition by Capvis Equity Partners AG in 2018. The company moved its headquarters to Mäder after production sites in Koblach and Rankweil were listed as operating through March 31, 2024. The supplied company website presents current Ceramill equipment, software and materials, along with online ordering, support and training resources.

Amann Girrbach was formed in 2004 through the combination of two family businesses, Amann Dental GmbH and Girrbach Dental GmbH. The company’s antecedents include Girrbach Dental, founded in Pforzheim, Germany, in 1936. A separate early milestone in the company’s development was founder Dietmar Amann’s 1973 development of a milling device and an articulator. After its formation, Amann Girrbach expanded internationally. It opened a branch in Tampa in 2006 and began producing zirconia blanks in 2007, using raw material sourced from the Japanese manufacturer Tosoh, according to the supplied German-language account. TA Associates invested in the company in 2010. The same account states that revenue had doubled by 2016, but does not provide a basis here for treating that figure as a current measure. Capvis Equity Partners AG acquired a majority stake in 2018. The company’s products and systems serve dentists and dental technicians, with digital dental prosthetics identified as its principal product area. Its integrated approach combines hardware and software for the dental workflow, particularly milling machines, software and materials. The company’s production locations were in Koblach and Rankweil, Austria, through March 31, 2024; it then moved into its new headquarters in Mäder. The German-language company account also identifies sales offices in Pforzheim, Charlotte, Singapore, Curitiba and Beijing. On August 14, 2023, Jürgen Kiesel took over as CEO from Wolfgang Reim, who remained on the supervisory board. The company website currently presents the Ceramill product family and related equipment, materials and software.
