Anthos

What Anthos does

Anthos, headquartered in Imola, Italy, is a brand of Cefla S.C. — an Italian cooperative that also owns complementary dental and sterilization brands such as Mocom and Stern Weber — and manufactures dental chair units, complementary clinical equipment, and a connected software platform. The portfolio spans eight treatment units across four families (Classe A: A3, A5, A6 Plus, A7 Plus; Classe L: L6, L9 with floor-fixed chairs; Classe R: R7 for ambidextrous/multi-operator use; Classe C: C9), plus surgical carts, five hygiene systems (W.H.E., S.H.S., A.C.V.S., Bioster, Flushing), sterilization equipment (autoclaves, thermal disinfectors, thermal sealers, Thalya/Thalya Plus rotary device maintenance), intraoral imaging hardware (RXDC X-ray, X-VS E sensor), and accessories. The Anthos Connect software layer ties hardware together through four modules: EasyCheck (internet-connected remote diagnostics and OTA updates), Di.V.A. (practice-level usage and maintenance monitoring), iRYS (DICOM-compliant 2D/3D imaging), and Neowise (clinical management with AI-powered anatomical/pathological segmentation on intraoral radiographs).

Anthos distributes globally via a network of authorized dealers and service centres covering 60+ countries across EMEA, APAC, LATAM, and MEA, with Henry Schein Dental serving as a major multi-country European distributor and dedicated subsidiaries ANTHOS Australia and ANTHOS Hellas plus exclusive regional distributors (Unident in Nordics/Russia/SE Asia, IVOCLAR in New Zealand, Accord in Thailand, ICADENT/Groupe LMD in France, ARSEUS in Benelux, etc.) handling other markets. End customers are individual dental practices and multi-operator clinics and universities; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is obtained via dealer contact or website forms.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly hardware sales of dental chairs and complementary equipment (sterilization, imaging, hygiene, accessories) bundled with the Anthos Connect software as integrated offerings; no SaaS-style pricing is disclosed. The cooperative ownership structure means capital allocation is member-driven and there are no external funding rounds, public listings, or investor disclosures. The company invested in capacity and product positioning in 2021 (new international showroom) and executed a comprehensive product refresh in 2025 alongside launch of a 3D Digital Showroom.
