What Ruthinium Group does

Ruthinium - Dental Manufacturing S.p.A. is an Italian privately held dental products manufacturer founded in 1965 and headquartered in Badia Polesine (Rovigo), Italy. The company specializes in removable prosthetics, with a core competency in the design, manufacture, and packaging of acrylic resin teeth, and describes itself as one of the few remaining western manufacturers in this category. Its product portfolio spans artificial teeth (including the Acry Nature AFG line), complementary prosthetic materials, C&B and cold/hot curing resins, 3D printing photopolymer resins, CAD-CAM composite discs (Ruthinium Disc, Acry Cube Ruthinium), duplicating silicones, radiopaque diagnostic materials, coatings, preforms (Plastiform in 56 shapes), and finishing consumables. Production runs on two lines with a capacity of 5,000 sets per day and a finishing department that checks over 12,000 teeth daily. Ruthinium has expanded into digital dental workflows through the Ruthinium for You design and manufacturing service, the ARTISYNC (formerly DACOS) digital denture system, and the Denture Guide Method, alongside a dedicated line of 3D printing resins.

The company operates a B2B distribution model, selling exclusively to qualified dental laboratories and dental professionals. Distribution is dual-channel: a network of Italian and international authorized distributors, supplemented by a direct e-commerce storefront (shop.ruthinium.com). Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of prosthetic products and CAD-CAM/3D printing materials, with a growing contribution from digital design and manufacturing services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through distributor and direct inquiry. Ruthinium is certified to UNI CEI EN ISO 13485:2021, ISO 13485:2016 (BSI), and MDSAP (covering USA, Canada, and Brazil), and holds CE marking under Directive 93/42/EEC for its medical devices, providing regulated access to European, North American, and selected South American dental markets. The company maintains an employee base of 101-250, share capital of €3,000,000, and pursues brand-building through educational initiatives such as the Digital Denture Talks webinar series, the Ruthinium Trophy competition, and the Ruthinium in Schools program.
