What MIKRONA GROUP Ltd. does

MIKRONA GROUP Ltd. is a privately held Swiss dental industry holding company headquartered in Schlieren, Switzerland. The Group operates through four distinct brands — MIKRONA, ORTHO WALKER, AXERA DENTAL, and FTC DENTAL — alongside the ICCO (Interdisciplinary Competence Center of Orthodontics) non-profit professional association. MIKRONA supplies dental products and equipment drawing on more than 60 years of industry experience and distributes globally in over 30 countries; ORTHO WALKER serves as a Swiss distributor of orthodontic consumables with associated training and education services; AXERA DENTAL provides digital dental technologies and integrated CAD/CAM workflow solutions for practices and laboratories; and FTC DENTAL is a specialized Swiss distributor focused on endodontic products.

The Group's business model combines hardware sales (dental equipment, consumables, and endodontic products) with professional services such as training courses, education events, study club meetings, and association programming through ICCO. The Group serves orthodontists, dentists, and dental laboratories, with go-to-market executed via direct field sales in the global MIKRONA channel and via wholesale/distribution models in Switzerland (ORTHO WALKER, FTC DENTAL, AXERA DENTAL). Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the company reports no disclosed revenue, funding rounds, or institutional ownership. Underlying technology centers on integrated CAD/CAM workflow solutions rather than proprietary AI or software platforms.

The Group is lean, with 22 employees disclosed across the holding structure, and operates two main Swiss locations (Schlieren headquarters and Crans-près-Céligny for FTC DENTAL). Brand-level messaging emphasizes Swiss quality values, craftsmanship, sustainability, and interdisciplinary cooperation with clinicians and technicians.
