Advantages of the central warehouse
The most comprehensive central warehouse in Europe
An important argument for a participation in the Dental-Union is the decades of logistics expertise available to regional partners:
- The members have access to one of the largest European dental central warehouses
The benefit for end users, dentists and dental technicians is evident:
- Each depot will be able to offer a product range that goes far beyond the capabilities of a single regional depot.
In addition to the wholesale assortment, the faster response times, the short-term ordering options and the comprehensive service can be offered to the customers overall, without them losing direct contact with their individual dealers.
