What imes-icore GmbH does

imes-icore GmbH is a German manufacturer of dental CAD/CAM milling and grinding machines headquartered in Eiterfeld, Hessen, Germany, where it develops and produces its entire product portfolio ("Made in Germany"). Its offering is organized into three product lines targeting distinct dental manufacturing use cases: chairside systems (CORiTEC one and CORiTEC one+) for in-office dentists performing same-day restorations; dental lab systems (CORiTEC 150i, 250i Loader dry, 250i PRO+, 350i PRO, 350i X PRO, and preMill series) for laboratory-based prosthetic production; and milling center systems (CORiTEC 650i PRO and AM series) for industrial-scale and additive manufacturing workflows. The company has also introduced the CORiTEC Mythos, a hybrid additive-subtractive system developed in partnership with ONE CLICK METAL that combines metal 3D printing with high-precision milling in a fully automated workflow, and reached the finals of the Formnext (R)Evolution Award in 2025.

The company sells through a hybrid go-to-market combining direct sales with a global network of authorized dealers and partners spanning over 100 countries, supported by regional Competence & Service Centers including a newly established Asia-Pacific facility in Singapore and a North American presence. It operates the CORiTEC Dental Smart Market (DSM), a digital platform that functions as both a customer portal (machine management, real-time status monitoring, software updates, training) and an e-commerce marketplace for tools, materials, and consumables with a 2% online-order discount. Marketing is supported by an interactive online product configurator, a multilingual website in eight languages, dental wiki and magazine content, social media on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, XING, and YouTube, and participation in industry events including Formnext, LAB DAY Chicago, and ADT.

imes-icore generates revenue across three streams: hardware sales of machines and systems; consumables (tools and materials) sold through the DSM marketplace; and software/services including licensing, updates, training, and maintenance. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held as a German GmbH, reportedly management-owned, with no disclosed external investors or parent entity. Leadership transitioned in February 2026 when Sabine Bois replaced Christoph Stark as CEO, alongside continuing Managing Director Jens Wahl.

• vhf camfacture: German manufacturer of dental milling machines and blocks; similarly positioned in the mid-tier lab segment with comparable German-engineering heritage and global dealer reach.
• Ivoclar: Direct competitor in dental lab and chairside milling via the PrograMill series and PrograPrint AM systems, with comparable product breadth across digital dental manufacturing.
• Roland DG (DGSHAPE): Through its DGSHAPE brand, produces dental milling machines (DWX series) and AM systems, competing with imes-icore's CORiTEC lab and chairside product lines, particularly in North America and Asia.
• Planmeca: Finnish dental equipment manufacturer offering CAD/CAM milling units alongside chairs, imaging, and software, with similar vertical-integration ambitions in digital dentistry.

Broad incumbents

• Dentsply Sirona: Largest dental equipment company globally; its CEREC system is the dominant integrated chairside CAD/CAM milling platform, making it the most significant competitor to imes-icore's CORiTEC one/one+ and lab/milling-center lines.
• Straumann Group: Global dental implant leader expanding into CAD/CAM and digital workflows; competes with imes-icore in milling-center and lab segments, particularly through Straumann's integrated prosthetic and clear-aligner offerings.
• 3Shape: Dominant dental scanner and CAD software vendor whose TRIOS and Dental System platforms increasingly bundle manufacturing workflows, creating indirect competitive pressure on imes-icore's hardware ecosystem.

Emerging players

• DATRON AG: German precision CNC machine maker with dental-applicable milling systems; smaller dental presence than imes-icore but relevant given shared German engineering DNA and overlap in high-precision milling technology.
