A look back - and, above all, a look forward

Since 1925, Renfert has been supporting dental technicians and dentists worldwide with a clear goal: to make daily work easier. From its beginnings as a small workshop, Renfert is now an internationally active company - committed to practical solutions, customer proximity and strong cooperation. Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2025, Renfert looks back on a history full of ideas, people and tools that make a difference.

The challenge: Mastering complexity in daily laboratory and dental office work

Whether dental laboratory or dental office - there are countless challenges every day. The key challenge is to produce highly precise, esthetically demanding work under time pressure and involving a wide variety of materials and technologies. This requires suitable tools and equipment which not only perform, but also actively support the work process. However, if products on the market are either technically outdated or not designed to meet the real requirements in the laboratory or in the dental office, what can be done?

The solution: Products that are created from everyday life

Renfert has a clear principle to meet this challenge: listen, understand, improve. Whether the legendary superglue with item number 1733, the long-lasting SILENT suction units or the SIMPLEX filament printing system - all developments by Renfert are created in close cooperation with users. The goal: solutions that are not only technically impressive but also make everyday chores noticeably easier. Or as Renfert says: making work easy.

Practical examples:

100 years of development for making work easier:

  2. Simply good, not perfectly complicated
  3. Just running and running
  4. Developed with users, for users

Moving opinions

“Reliable”, ‘indestructible’, “makes work easier” - this is how dental technicians who work with Renfert products describe them.

“Actually, we just wanted to improve the working conditions in dental laboratories,” explains a developer, recalling the beginnings of SILENT suction units.

“We not only want to supply our customers with first-class products, but also support them in their daily work,” says Managing Director and Owner Sören Hug.

“If we stop getting better, we stop being good.” This is Dr. Sören Rieger's guiding principle.

Shaping the future: Digital, interactive and customer-oriented

Renfert is giving service a new twist - with digital solutions such as the myRenfert customer portal, interactive 3D product views and a multilingual support team. Renfert is involved in research, too: together with universities, new technologies are being developed that will shape tomorrow's everyday practice and laboratory work. One thing remains constant: the commitment to making work easier.

Renfert and the genuine "strong together" feeling

Team spirit is a key element of Renfert's DNA.  This “team spirit” was particularly tangible at the big staff party celebrating the company's 100th anniversary at the Konzil in Constance. With good music, a delicious buffet and inspiring conversations, it became clear that Renfert is more than just an employer - it is a community. Especially in economically challenging times, showing such appreciation is crucial. It strengthens motivation, resilience and the confidence to overcome any challenge together.
