Ivoclar Celebrates 100th Anniversary

Ivoclar will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2023 with the theme of “A Century of Innovation.” The company was founded in Zurich, Switzerland in 1923 and relocated to the Principality of Liechtenstein in 1933, where its current headquarters are located. The family-owned business began as a tooth factory and has evolved into a manufacturer of integrated solutions that are recognized across the dental industry today.

Over the past 100 years, Ivoclar has released a number of innovations that have influenced the dental industry, including its Programat ceramic furnaces and IPS e.max lithium disilicate glass-ceramic.

Ivoclar's headquarters have been located in Liechtenstein since 1933. A present-day scene is pictured on the left and one from the company's archives is on the right.

For this purpose, we supply our products to around 130 countries. We employ roughly 3500 people worldwide, who continuously strive to optimize the company’s offerings of integrated solutions that feature intelligent systems, practice-oriented training, and education as well as comprehensive after-sales support and customer-centric service.”
