OUR HISTORY

1900

The history of Seiler Scheidegger Dentaltechnik begins in 1948.


Rudolf Seiler and Werner Scheidegger meet at a dental conference. Connected by their common passion for holistic dental technology and their experiences, which complement each other perfectly, they decide to found their own dental laboratory.

The journey begins: the business opens in Sumatrastrasse in Zurich.

The first prosthetic challenges are tackled at two wooden tables, each with a table motor and a sparsely equipped dental laboratory. Demand is high. The small dental technology company is soon able to hire its first employees.
