Ivoclar Vivadent is celebrating its centenary this year. The business group will mark this milestone with a celebration in June, at which the new main building in Schaan will also be inaugurated, in addition to a family day for employees and their families.

The Liechtenstein business group Ivoclar Vivadent is set to turn 100 later this year. The globally active dental and medical company based in Schaan is celebrating this milestone year with a big anniversary celebration, during which the new main building in Schaan will be opened. A family day for employees and their families is also being organized to take place shortly after the centenary celebrations.

The Ivoclar Group was founded in 1923 in Zurich. At the start of the 1930s, the company moved to Liechtenstein and created 100 new jobs in the process. In 1948, the German mechanical engineer Adolf Schneider acquired the company, before rebranding it as Ivoclar - a name it carries to this day - just three years later.

His grandson Christoph Zeller joined the family business in 1982 and became Chairman of the Board of Directors and Executive Board in 1990. From 2003, Robert Ganley as CEO and Christoph Zeller as Chairman of the Board of Directors formed the top management team, before Diego Gabathuler and Helmut Schuster respectively filled these two key roles in 2019.

Ivoclar employs 3,500 people around the world and supplies its solutions for dental applications such as dentures to dental technology labs and dental practices in 130 countries. The business group has 47 subsidiaries, branch offices and production facilities. In 2021, the company generated record sales of 842 million Swiss francs, which it followed up with further sales growth in financial year 2022.

“We are delighted and grateful that we are in a position to celebrate this milestone at a moment when the company is healthier and fitter than ever”, comment Christoph and Christina Zeller, who represent the entrepreneurial family on the Board of Directors, in the press release.
