Valplast Hosts 2nd World Conference in Germany


Cologne, Germany, March 23, 2009 - Valplast International Corp. hosted its second world conference on Monday, March 23rd just prior to the IDS Dental Show in Cologne, Germany. The 2009 Valplast World Conference featured guests and speakers from more than 25 countries around the world that gathered to learn the latest news and information on Valplast® Flexible Partials. Valplast®, the leading brand of flexible partial denture, is available in more than 95 countries around the globe. Guests were treated to a full day of presentations, discussions and forums that focused on Valplast® sales training, technical education, product information and marketing. Participants found the program and the exchange of ideas and experiences to be extremely valuable for the purpose of supporting Valplast® prosthetics in their own markets.

Justin Marks, Business Development Manager for Valplast International Corp. commented on the conference’s success by saying that “now is a particularly interesting time for removable restorative options and it was a real pleasure to be able to share our ideas and knowledge with many of our international customers. The current global economic crisis has prompted patients and dental professionals around the world to reconsider which methods of tooth replacement they will choose simply based on how much they can afford to spend on their dental restorations. Valplast® partials offer a solution that is affordable yet still maintains a high level of aesthetics, comfort and patient satisfaction. As the current economic situation is being felt worldwide, highlighting the economic benefits of Valplast® partials was a natural choice for the theme and focus of this year’s conference.”

The IDS Dental Show is the largest dental exhibition in the world and is held every two years in Cologne, Germany. Justin Marks continues by stating that “exhibiting at the IDS show has provided our company with many opportunities to expand our export markets and we have formed many key business relationships over the years as a result of exhibiting at the IDS.” The next IDS show will take place from March 22nd to 26th, 2011 in Cologne, Germany.
