What Curaden AG does

Curaden AG is a privately held Swiss dental products and services company founded in 1940 and headquartered in Kriens, Switzerland, operating two key sites in Dietikon (Dentaldepot headquarters) and Flawil (manufacturing). The company operates two intertwined businesses: a Swiss dental depot (Curaden Dentaldepot) that distributes more than 120 product categories of consumables, instruments, capital equipment, and digital solutions to dental practices and laboratories, and the Curaprox consumer oral care brand, which sells premium manual and electric toothbrushes, interdental brushes, toothpastes, mouthwashes, and specialty care products in over 90 countries via international distributors.

Its technology footprint spans a B2B e-commerce platform, practice and laboratory management software (OneBox pro, LOMS), and the BOB-App consumer-facing oral health application, alongside distribution of third-party digital dentistry hardware such as CEREC Primemill/SpeedFire milling and firing units, scanners, 3D printers, and X-ray systems. Manufacturing is anchored at the Flawil facility, where Curaprox toothbrushes are produced in-house, supporting vertical integration on the core consumer line.

Curaden makes money through three revenue streams: B2B hardware and consumables sales to dental practices and laboratories via direct account managers, an e-commerce depot, and field sales; Curaprox-branded consumer oral care products sold globally through distributors; and emerging subscription/recurring revenue from practice management software and digital tools. Distribution is multi-channel — phone-based direct sales teams for practice and laboratory articles, technical service, e-commerce, and international wholesale — with same-day delivery on Swiss orders placed before 5 PM. The company remains family-owned under CEO Christine Breitschmid, who publicly rejected a UBS-led acquisition approach, reaffirming its independent private status.
