Zirc Dental Products.

Zirc's leadership page says Jim Campion founded the company in 1967, starting with zirconium silicate abrasive strips that he later sold, then turned the business toward a color-coding system Zirc calls the Color Method. The page says the company is still family-run and lists Nicolle Campion as president. The contact page prints the office at 3918 Highway 55 S.E., Buffalo, Minnesota 55313, and the phone +1 763-682-6636.

A 2017 catalog introduction says the Buffalo headquarters houses engineering, tooling, manufacturing, distribution, and customer service, and that the products are made in the United States. That catalog marked 50 years from the 1967 founding and said Nicolle Campion had joined in 2000. The current leadership page still pairs Jim Campion as founder and CEO with Nicolle Campion as president.

The contact FAQ says most customers buy through a dental dealer. Orders can be placed on the Zirc website and then invoiced through the dealer's process. The FAQ also says Zirc will review direct-purchase requests from a hygienist or a student who does not have a dealer account. Samples are offered for isolation and evacuation devices and for mouth mirrors, according to that FAQ.

Color Method is an organizational system, not a clinical material. Tubs, cassettes, and color clips are meant to make a procedure setup repeatable. They do not sterilize instruments. The sterile barrier is still the pouch or wrap and the sterilizer cycle your office validates. The leadership page lists Nathan Olmscheid as chief operating officer and Andy Marquette as director of quality and regulatory affairs, which is the public quality contact if a dealer cannot answer a material question about a tub or a mirror. The 2017 catalog said engineering and tooling sit in the same Buffalo building as manufacturing. Dealer contacts on the current FAQ include a US and Canada line at 763-251-3046 and an international line at 763-251-3045.

Zirc suits offices that want a US-made color system for tubs and room setup and already buy through a dealer. Mouth-mirror comparisons sit on the mouth mirror guide.

Organization products do not choose the sterilizer. When the project is the autoclave rather than the tub, use the sterilizer guide.

A color clip and a tub are reusable organization tools. Gauze, gloves, and anesthetic are consumables that go inside the setup. Zirc's catalog focus is the setup hardware, not a full consumable house.

Dealer-mediated shipping means a backorder can sit at either Zirc or the dealer. The contact FAQ says customer service may not see every dealer warehouse status. Keep the dealer account number on the order.

The Buffalo address and phone are on the current contact page. US and Canadian dealer inquiries are directed to a named contact on that FAQ, and international dealers to another. Use those routes rather than a generic inbox if you are a dealer.

Student and direct-buy requests are reviewed. They are not an automatic webstore account. Ask about sample mirrors before a large mirror order, because the FAQ says those samples exist.
