The affiliation will expand Henry Schein’s reach in Japan, as it invested in dental consumable, implant and equipment producer Iwase Dental Supply two years ago. The company entered the Asian dental product market seven years ago in Hong Kong, Thailand and China.

“We are committed to the Japan dental market and with Kenichiro Iwase, assuming the leadership of Henry Schein Japan, we look forward to a strong partnership that will bring new services and solutions to the Japanese dental community,” CEO of Henry Schein Stanley M. Bergman said.
