SAREMCO Dental

What SAREMCO Dental does

SAREMCO Dental AG is a privately held Swiss manufacturer of light-curing dental materials, headquartered in Rebstein, Switzerland, with all development and production conducted at its single Swiss site. Founded in 1987 by chemist Adalbert Schmid and now owned by Franca Schmid (President of the Board) with Sven Hauser as CEO since July 2024, the company develops, manufactures, and distributes biocompatible dental composites, adhesives, cements, sealants, and 3D printing resins under proprietary technology platforms — els extra low shrinkage® and apt® advanced polymer technology — both formulated without allergenic monomers (TEGDMA, HEMA, BisGMA). Its 3D printing portfolio includes CROWNTEC (the first CE-certified resin for permanent dental restorations), DENTURETEC for denture bases, and a water-based cleaning concentrate. The company holds ISO 13485, CE, EU MDR, FDA, and MDSAP certifications, with products validated across Asiga, Formlabs, UNIZ, and SHINING 3D printer ecosystems.

SAREMCO serves two primary customer segments: dentists/dental practices performing direct restorations, and dental laboratories fabricating definitive restorations via 3D printing. It distributes through a global network spanning over 60 countries, combining direct B2B sales via a Shopify e-commerce storefront with distributor partnerships, and increasingly through OEM-embedded cartridge workflows with 3D printer manufacturers (notably SHINING 3D Dental's Ceramix-Nano system from September 2026). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time unit sales of consumable materials, with pricing examples including €620 per 500g of CROWNTEC and €265 per DENTURETEC unit. Beyond dental applications, the company offers custom light-curing resin development for medical/technical uses including ocular prostheses and hearing aid components.

The business model is anchored in premium specialty dental materials rather than high-volume commodity products, supported by clinical education (webinars, hands-on training, roadshows), scientific validation (university collaborations including University of Zurich and Istanbul University), and a financially independent ownership structure that enables long-term R&D investment without external investor pressure.
