How We Started
Kerr Dental wasn’t always a dental corporation; brothers Robert and John Kerr founded our company in the USA in 1891 under the name ‘’The Detroit Dental Manufacturing Company’’. It began exporting products to Europe as early as 1893. The company name changed to The KERR Manufacturing Company in 1939.
Kerr began expanding its dental product range by developing cutting-edge dental technologies and acquiring other dental companies, including Demetron, the US manufacturer of curing lights, in 1993. It also acquired Hawe Neos in 2011, a Swiss manufacturer of preventive articles and accessories for filling materials. In 2003, Kerr acquired the Czech company Spofa Dental and the US company Pentron Clinical in 2010.
