As of 1 Jan 2024, Stiehle will join the corporate management team and assume responsibility for the APAC sales organisations in addition to the Latin American (LATAM) region where he is the head of LATAM. Furthermore, Christian Brutzer will focus on the established markets, including North America, Europe and Middle East, in his new position as CCO mature markets. “Going forward, we will divide our sales division into ‘mature markets’ and ‘high growth markets’ to foster closer integration among the sales areas and support them more effectively,” said Ivoclar Group CEO Markus Heinz, who has been at the helm since March.

With this appointment Berger will leave the Ivoclar Group after 12 years of CFO at the end of June 2024 to take on new challenges. “I would like to thank Frank Berger for his significant contributions. Under his tenure as CFO, Ivoclar has not only completed strategically important acquisitions and the implementation of the integrated performance management but also established and expanded areas such as global tax management, treasury, compliance, risk management and data and cyber security,” said Heinz. “The joint transition period from Franz Berger to Michael Bickel ensures continuity for Ivoclar in ongoing projects, for example also in the challenging regulatory tax and reporting projects such as BEPS 2.0.” Bickel and Stiehle will complete the existing corporate management team, consisting of Markus Heinz as CEO, Franz Berger as outgoing CFO, Christian Brutzer as CCO with new responsibility for mature markets, Patric Frank as chief marketing officer, Dr Thomas Hirt as chief technology officer and Alexandra H Machnik as chief digital officer.

DENTAL UPDATES Emirati sovereign wealth fund Mubadala invests in Osstem Implant Emirati state-owned holding company Mubadala Investment Company has announced an investment in Korean dental implant material manufacturer, Osstem Implant (Osstem), in partnership with MBK Partners and Unison Capital. Osstem is reportedly the world’s fourth largest dental implant material manufacturer, which focuses on the value segment in more than 30 international markets. The company has manufacturing facilities in Korea and the US, and it provides dental materials, digital equipment, and a full range of auxiliary services in addition to implants. “With the growing prevalence of dental disorders and demand for cosmetic dentistry across the globe, access to comprehensive dental solutions plays a vital role in improving public health,” said head of life sciences at Mubadala Investment Company, Camilla Macapili Languille. “We are pleased to partner with MBK Partners and Unison Capital to support Osstem in scaling its best-in-class dental solutions in the high-growth value segment to better serve doctors and patients across the globe.” PERFECTION IN BONE SURGERY → YOUR SURGICAL APPROACH WILL CHANGE - THE PIEZOSURGERY® touch → best cutting efficiency → optimal intraoperative control → perfect ergonomics → made in Italy Osstem also focuses on helping dentists provide their patients with total dental treatment solutions. The company trains more than 110,000 dentists globally every year through its network of 120 dedicated training centres.

Osstem was delisted from the KOSDAQ market on 14 Aug following 16-years on the Korean exchange, after a consortium formed by MBK Partners and Unison Capital Korea (UCK) announced their plans to buy the remaining 3.92% of shares from minority shareholders. The consortium held 96.2% of the company’s shares after two earlier public purchases. The market capitalisation of Osstem was reported at $2.26bn (2.93tn won) at the time of its final trading period.
