Why it matters for dental
Apheon’s majority acquisition of Hager & Meisinger gives the private-equity firm control of a major German dental-instrument and implant manufacturer; U.S. DSOs and specialists who rely on Hager & Meisinger products should monitor pricing, supply continuity, and future U.S. distribution changes.
