The future
belongs to the pioneers.
In 1964, the engineer Ernst Mühlbauer formed a company for producing silicate cements called "Dental Material Gesellschaft" in Hamburg. The most important capital then: a pioneering spirit, good ideas and a sound furnace. Today, over 300 DMG employees are committed to supporting dentists and laboratories worldwide with high-quality dental brands.
The old furnace, with which it all began, can still be found in the cellar.
