ELSODENT
30 years of clinical experience !
A SPECIALIST MANUFACTURER OF DENTAL COMPOSITES, CEMENTS AND RESINS, IN A SECTOR DOMINATED BY GENERALIST MULTINATIONALS
Founded in 1995 by Dentist Gilbert Ely and business partner Gilbert Sotto, Elsodent is a manufacturer of dental products with unusual clinical features. In 2001, Elsodent bought the machines to produce a temporary filling cement. With this acquisition, we began to manufacture and sell our own dental products, setting up a supply chain of raw materials.
The company developed rapidly as we hired chemists and started our own R&D laboratory, staffed by highly trained technicians. Since then, Elsodent has grown considerably, constantly expanding its range of products to include composites, temporary resin-based luting cements, liners and resins.
Today the company offers more than 40 products and about 70 references and sub-references.
Elsodent
Our site at Cergy-Pontoise (about 25 kms northwest of Paris) houses the R&D laboratory, production area, sales department and administration offices.
Our multi-disciplinary team includes professionals who are experts in fields including dentistry, chemistry and pharmacy – allowing us propose a constantly-improving range of products, covering most needs in a dental practice..
The production site is certified ISO 9001: 2008 & 13485: 2012. Most of our products are designed, manufactured and packaged on our premises. These products are then labeled “100% designed and manufactured in France”. The laboratory ensures its full autonomy and secures its market A to Z by controlling the quality of its products. The commercial department works out on the road as well as by phone and internet, and our distributors’ reps are given detailed technical training for optimal presentation of the product range.
