Investment rationale

With its offering of dental implants and related adjacent products, Straumann enhances the well-being and quality of life of people around the world. In recent years the company has expanded to regions with a greater presence of developing countries, and at the same time it has broadened its offering with less expensive products. These geographic and price range expansions increase the accessibility to its products for people with less resources, which reinforces the positive health impact that the company's products deliver.
