Benco Dental Expands Westward

Company Plans Denver, Colorado Branch to Service Rocky Mountain Region.

WILKES-BARRE, PA (December 5, 2007) — Benco Dental, the nation’s fastest-growing distributor of dental products and equipment, today announced its expansion into Colorado.

“Colorado and the entire Rocky Mountain region will provide Benco Dental with a platform to expand further westward in keeping with our corporate philosophy of organic growth,” said Charles Cohen, President.

The company will open a branch office and equipment showroom in Denver, which will serve as the hub for additional locations in the future. Once a physical location is chosen, the office will be up and running within approximately 30 days.

Don Taylor was hired as Regional Manager. He has over 14 years of experience working with major healthcare and technology companies in sales management and business development.

This is the third major expansion for Benco Dental during 2007. Earlier this year, the company acquired Pennsylvania-based KernCo Dental Supply and in November, it merged with Marcus Dental Supply, taking over its Minneapolis, Minnesota-based operations and announced plans for a branch in Fargo, North Dakota.
