"Henry Schein is a company committed to new ideas and the Special Markets team has been a key to Henry Schein's reinvention," said Hal Muller, President, Special Markets Division, Henry Schein, Inc. "Through niche markets, we drive reinvention, and with dental service organizations (DSOs) being the fastest growing channel in dentistry today, we are in the right place at the right time."
During the meeting, Mr. Muller led a Q&A session with Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and CEO, Henry Schein, Inc. and James P. Breslawski, President of Henry Schein and CEO of the Global Dental Group, to discuss how the company is transforming, collaborating, and accelerating, as well as how the company has sustained a strong global brand over the last 85 years.
"Throughout our history, we have delivered solutions to our customers and delivered on commitments to our constituencies," said Mr. Bergman. "Henry Schein has been successful because we have built great relationships based on trust, which has enabled us to lead during periods of great change in our businesses. Many of our most important, long-term relationships are with our Special Market business partners. These partners can continue to rely on us to offer a strong portfolio of exclusive and semi-exclusive products."
