Klockner

What Klockner does

Klockner S.A. is a Spanish dental implant manufacturer founded in 1987 and headquartered in Madrid, with a second office in Barcelona. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes a full-stack oral rehabilitation portfolio: five proprietary implant systems (VEGA, VEGA+, Essential Cone, KL Universal, and SK2), dedicated surgical kits, complete prosthetic solution lines for each implant family, digital workflow components (medpro TiBase, i-medlocate scan abutments), and osseointegration and occlusion analysis tools (Penguin RFA, T-Scan). It also distributes third-party intraoral scanners from Medit, Carestream, and Thunk 3D, as well as botiss biomaterials for hard tissue, soft tissue, barrier, and collagen dressing applications. Underlying technology is anchored in proprietary materials and surface treatments — OPTiMUM cold-drawn Grade IV titanium, ContacTi bioactive titanate surface, Shot Blasted aluminum-oxide treatment, and the Tight To Cone (ttc) mechanical connection — which together support narrow-diameter implants down to 3.0mm and definitive loading at 4 weeks.

The company operates a wholly-owned digital milling subsidiary, Archimedes, which produces milled prosthetic structures and installs medproTiBase libraries free of charge to customers, creating a closed-loop digital workflow. Go-to-market is sales-led through a direct network of 40+ sales consultants covering Spain and Portugal, supported by a community-led model anchored in 5 university chairs, 160+ annual educational events, 20 scientific society partnerships across Spain, Portugal, and the United States, and a scientific committee of 50+ Key Opinion Leaders. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of implants, prosthetic components, surgical kits, biomaterials, and distributed scanning devices, supplemented by professional services revenue from education programs and the Archimedes managed milling service. The installed base exceeds 1.5 million placed implants since 1987, establishing Klockner as a pioneer in the Spanish dental implantology market.

Broad incumbents

• Zimmer Biomet Dental: Large orthopedic and dental conglomerate with a meaningful dental implant and regenerative biomaterials business. Overlaps in implants, surgical kits, and biomaterials as part of a broader medtech portfolio.
• Dentsply Sirona: Largest dental equipment and supplies conglomerate, with major implant franchise (Astra Tech, MIS). Competes in the same implant and digital workflow categories but as part of a much broader dental equipment portfolio.

Direct peers

• Straumann Group: Global leader in dental implants and prosthetic solutions. Directly comparable as a premium implant manufacturer with proprietary surface technologies (e.g., SLActive) and a multi-brand portfolio serving the same dental professional customers.
• BioHorizons (Henry Schein): US-headquartered dental implant and biologics company owned by Henry Schein. Closely comparable mid-size implant specialist with proprietary surface technology and a prosthetic and biomaterial ecosystem.
• MegaGen Implant: South Korean dental implant manufacturer with global distribution. Comparable mid-size implant specialist competing on proprietary surfaces and digital workflow solutions for the same clinical segments.
• MIS Implants Technologies: Mid-tier dental implant manufacturer (acquired by Dentsply Sirona) with broad implant portfolio. Direct competitor in the value-to-premium implant segment, with similar prosthetic and digital workflow offerings.
• Envista Holdings (Nobel Biocare): Holds the Nobel Biocare implant brand, a direct competitor with proprietary surfaces (TiUltra) and a global clinical education network targeting the same dentist and specialist customers.

Regional players

• Bredent Medical: German family-owned dental implant and biomaterials company. Comparable mid-size implant specialist with proprietary surface (SKY fast & fixed) and an integrated prosthetic/biomaterial portfolio sold primarily in DACH and select international markets.
• Sweden & Martina: Italian dental implant and prosthetic manufacturer with strong Southern European presence. Comparable mid-size implant specialist with proprietary surface technology (ZirTi) and biomaterials distributed in adjacent geographies to Klockner's Iberian core.

Others

• Botiss Biomaterials: German dental regeneration and biomaterials manufacturer whose products Klockner distributes in Spain and Portugal. Adjacent ecosystem participant — not a direct implant competitor — that intersects with Klockner's biomaterial offering.
