Dürr Dental.

Durr Dental's company page says Karl and Wilhelm Durr from Gechingen founded the workshop on 1 November 1941 in Stuttgart-Feuerbach. Headquarters are now in Bietigheim-Bissingen, where the page says about 500 people work in production, research, and sales. The group figure on that page is about 1,400 employees, with 2025 turnover of more than 373 million euros and customers in 174 countries. Those headcount and sales figures are the company's.

The milestones page says compressor production began in 1956 with an oil-lubricated unit that drove a KaVo air rotor, and that the first oil-free dental compressor arrived in 1965, the same year Orotol was introduced as a suction disinfectant. VistaCam, a dental video system, is dated 1995. VistaScan image-plate scanners are dated 2002. The legal form became Durr Dental AG in 2008, with Martin Durrstein as CEO on that milestone. A 2021 note marks an 80th anniversary and names later Silver Airline compressors, Tyscor suction, and VistaScan Ultra View.

The company page traces leadership through the family. Rudolf Durrstein became managing director in 1970 and handed the dental company to his son Martin at the end of 2003. Wilhelm Durr lived from 1907 to 1995 and Karl from 1905 to 1989, according to that page. The move of the head office to Bietigheim is dated 1954 on the milestones page, at Etzelstrasse, with later growth in Bietigheim-Bissingen.

A compressor, a suction system, an amalgam separator, and a VistaScan reader are four devices. Orotol is a chemical for the suction lines. Buying a compressor does not include the plate scanner. Air Techniques' site describes a parent relationship for some imaging; service still follows the nameplate. The milestones page dates amalgam separators to 1987 and a fully digital VistaCam to 2005, with VistaProof fluorescence cameras in 2007. Fluorescence caries detection is not the same device as an image-plate scanner. RinsEndo, dated 2004 on that page, is a root-canal handpiece and is outside the compressor decision. When you specify a mechanical room, list the compressor, the suction unit, the separator, and the disinfectant as four lines even if one dealer quotes them together. The company page says about 500 of the group's roughly 1,400 people work in Bietigheim-Bissingen. That split is why a phone call to the headquarters may not be the installer who pulls the compressor. Ask for the local subsidiary. Martin Durrstein is named CEO on the 2008 milestone, after Rudolf Durrstein stepped down at the end of 2003. Family management is the company page's account. It still does not choose the compressor model.

Durr Dental suits a practice specifying compressors, suction, or image-plate scanners from the Bietigheim company. Compressors are compared on the air compressor guide.

Suction, amalgam separation, and phosphor plates are neighboring purchases. See the vacuum guide, the amalgam separator guide, and the phosphor plate guide.

The 1956 compressor and the 2002 VistaScan are fifty years apart. They share a manufacturer and not a spare-parts list.

Orotol maintains suction systems. It is not a sterilant for handpieces. Keep chemistry and capital equipment on separate lines of the order.

Use the Bietigheim-Bissingen headquarters described on the company page, and ask the subsidiary that invoices you for the install team. The 1954 Etzelstrasse note is a historic address.

The 373 million euro and 1,400-employee figures are the company's 2025 description. They are not a warranty term.
