Young Innovations launches international logistics centre in Ireland – New general manager introduced

Heidelberg/Germany, September 26, 2023 – American dental group Young Innovations has established a new logistics centre in Ireland. The Dungarvan site will become a hub for international trade and the European market. “The excellent infrastructure allows us to expand the product range and deliver faster, which are ideal conditions for optimal support of our customers” emphasized Frank Whyte, Vice President and Managing Director of Young International, at the opening ceremony. Cormac Johnston was introduced as the new General Manager of Young Microbrush Ireland.

The group’s Microbrush brand has been present locally for 25 years. The branch was initially used as a factory and later as a warehouse. Since 2014, the premises and the portfolio have been steadily expanded and other brands have been added, like Young Dental, American Eagle Instruments, Pro-Matrix, Pro-Tip, Crystal Tips, Zooby and Denticator. The continuous growth required the expansion of capacity. The warehouse was enlarged and all buildings completely renovated. A reception area, new offices, a conference centre and a canteen were added to the site.

Young Innovations’ extensive portfolio can now be fully mapped and the diverse requirements for storing the high-quality goods are also easily met. Modern technology and software make the inventory transparent and speed up delivery to clinics and practices at home and abroad.

Frank Whyte thanked the energetic team as well as the previous General Manager, Mary O’Keeffe, who had been with Microbrush since 1998 and has now retired. Cormac Johnston was introduced as the new General Manager. The senior professional brings to the position many years of experience in quality and process management at international companies in the healthcare and biotech industries.

Find any product in no time

Heidelberg, June 6, 2023 – American Eagle Instruments® presents a new product finder for its extensive product range. This includes items for diagnostics, prophylaxis, restoration, surgery, periodontology, implantology, endodontics as well as instrument cassettes for hygienic reprocessing and storage. At www.am-eagle.de/productfinder, customers have access to the complete portfolio, can quickly and conveniently assemble their order and send it to American Eagle.

The entry via specialist areas and the simple, intuitive navigation direct you quickly to the product you want. Users can configure instruments and take a close look at each item by zooming in, a detailed description facilitates the selection. Customers receive a clear summary of their enquiry, shipping and delivery are handled by the dental trade.

American Eagle focuses on lean processes, time savings and ergonomic comfort. The manufacturer has not only developed the Talon ToughTM alloy, but also the patented XP Technology®, which eliminates the need to regrind instruments. Another innovation are the environmentally friendly and affordable Quik-TipTM prophylaxis instruments, whose handles are combined with exchangeable tips. In case the instrument wears out, only the worn working end needs to be replaced. This sustainable system saves resources and reduces waste.

The new surgical collection also impresses with efficiency and quality. High-quality materials, ergonomic handles and a matt finish to prevent reflections are standard. The American Eagle surgical range covers 80% of all dental surgical procedures. These and other instruments can be compiled and configured in the product finder, for example the favourite handle with the preferred scaler tip. A great way to reach the desired product quickly and accurately.

American Eagle Instruments® now available through multiple UK dental dealers

Heidelberg, January 24, 2023 – American Eagle Instruments® have been present in the UK for several years, and have experienced rapid growth. Due to the high demand it has now been decided to simplify the ordering process, and make the entire portfolio available through multiple British dental dealers. The instrument range includes instruments for diagnostics, prophylaxis, restoration, periodontics, implantology and endodontics, as well as instrument cassettes for efficient and hygienic reprocessing and storage. The market opening is celebrated with attractive special offers.

American Eagle was founded 75 years ago, joined the Young Innovations dental group in 2017, and specializes in the consistent manufacture of high-quality dental hand instruments. Frank Whyte, Managing Director of Young Innovations Europe, emphasizes: “American Eagle offers outstanding clinical solutions for dentists and patients and is well established internationally. UK customers will now also fully benefit from our expertise and the reliable distribution through dental dealers.”

American Eagle produces advanced premium products that offer practitioners efficient processes, economic progress and added ergonomic comfort. The company provides not only the stainless steel Talon ToughTM range, but also the patented XP Technology®, which eliminates the need to sharpen instruments. Sharpen-free XP Scalers, Curettes and Double Graceys keep their original form and function as the precise cutting edge design is retained for the life of the instrument. Sharpening stones are history. The user saves economically and can act more ergonomically since noticeably less force is needed.

Another innovation from American Eagle are the environmentally friendly and inexpensive Quik-TipTM prophylaxis instruments. The product line combines handles with exchangeable tips. In case of abrasive wear only the worn working end is replaced instead of the entire instrument. This sustainable system saves resources and reduces waste.

The American Eagle Composite instruments also have the revolutionary XP Technology® alloy, making composite-stick a thing of the past. The newly launched M5 Restorative Series also benefit from this especially smooth surface. The multifunctional set reduces the number of instruments required, as each instrument has two optimally coordinated working ends, which considerably simplifies and speeds up every procedure.

For professional implant cleaning, American Eagle has a convincing solution in its portfolio: The Implant Scalers and Curettes are made of medical-grade titanium, slightly softer than the implant´s titanium. Therefore mineralized deposits are removed particularly gently but effectively without scratching the implant´s surface.

The high-quality Galaxie instrument cassettes support the thorough cleaning, effective sterilization and precise organization of hand instruments. Their sturdy housing made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel protects the equipment, while the unique design reduces contact points. The laser-cut grid maximizes water flow and increases efficiency in the WD/thermal disinfector. Rounded edges and slotted corners accelerate drainage, reducing drying time. The ergonomic closure can be operated with one hand. The color-coded silicone rails can be individually arranged and are compatible with all common handle diameters. Available are DIN cassettes for twenty instruments, 1/2 DIN cassettes for ten instruments, and 1/4 DIN cassettes for five instruments.

For the UK launch special offers are available through retailers in January and February. There is a 4+1 promotion on diagnostic items, XP instruments, composite and M5 instruments, Double Graceys, implant products, Galaxie cassettes and a 20% discount on Quik-Tips.
