A-dec® Introduces Certified Pre-Owned Equipment
New program combines the value of pre-owned with the quality of A-dec
NEWBERG, Ore.-- Today, A-dec announced an expansion of its business with the launch of A-dec Certified Pre-Owned Equipment.
A-dec Chief Executive Officer, Marv Nelson, expressed the vision behind the venture: “I believe A-dec is for everyone. Our new A-dec Certified Pre-Owned Equipment program will help make it possible for more dental professionals to practice with the best dental equipment, by putting A-dec equipment within reach. In tandem with our Smart Start program and other continuing education services, A-dec will continue to invest in the success of customers, especially those who are starting their practice journey.”
While there are unauthorized third parties who sell used A-dec dental equipment, A-dec wanted to develop its own refurbishing process to ensure that doctors will have the highest quality equipment and best possible user experience with A-dec.
A-dec Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Tim Long, emphasized the difference: “A-dec Certified Pre-Owned Dental Equipment goes through a rigorous multi-point inspection. It’s refurbished by skilled A-dec technicians, who replace high-wear parts with new, genuine A-dec parts. Because we’ve handled every part of the process, we can certify that this equipment meets A-dec’s high standards of quality and reliability.”
In addition to offering a new option for customers, A-dec Certified Pre-Owned Equipment reflects the company’s commitment to supporting sustainability. “This program keeps useful dental equipment out of landfills, reducing waste,” said Long. “And because refurbishing dental equipment takes only a fraction of the natural resources and materials compared to manufacturing new, doctors can make the right choice for their practice and the environment.”
A-dec Certified Pre-Owned Equipment will be sold in packages on a dedicated website, with sales and installation managed by authorized A-dec dealers. Brand-new formed upholstery, in the customer’s choice of color, is included in the package price. All A-dec Certified Pre-Owned Equipment is backed with a 3-year parts warranty and full access to A-dec customer service and support. At this time, the program is available for U.S. customers only.
Nelson believes dental professionals will be enthusiastic about the new A-dec program. “Doctors can choose our Certified Pre-Owned Equipment with confidence, knowing that it’s inspected, refurbished, and fully supported by the same company that made it. Quality means everything at A-dec.”
