Future needs roots

For over 68 years, we have been developing silicones and light-curing resins for dental and other medical applications. As a medium-sized company in the dental industry, we rely on a high degree of specialisation, well above-average development expenditures and on our employees. The polymer chemistry of materials is our universe. Our enthusiasm and innovative strength is ingrained in every one of the products that you will become familiar with in the following pages. They are always made from materials that are among the best the market has to offer. Appreciation, integrity and intercultural expertise form the basis of our business relationships.

1954

In August 1954, Karl Huber junior registered the company DETAX-Dental Karl Huber in Theodor‑Rehbok-Strasse 5 in Karlsruhe. The function of the company was to manufacture and sell dental preparations. Karl Huber junior was an energetic business owner who had already gathered plenty of experience in the dental market working in his father’s company Favodent. His uncle Emil Huber ran the renowned Emil Huber Dental Depot (now Pluradent) in Karlsruhe. Karl Huber junior also founded the company COLTENE in Altstätten (Switzerland) in the following years.

1960

Karl Huber junior refocused on providing an aerosol filling service. His main client was the traditional company Wolff & Sohn, whose world-famous brand Kaloderma is still a familiar name today. The company also produced large volumes of lighter gas refill ampules for famous brands such as Rowenta, Aral, and Esso.

1967

The increasing use of disposable lighters meant that the demand for aerosols fell dramatically. Karl Huber junior had new business projects in the real estate sector on the Spanish coast and sold the company to the pharmacist Paul Regneri from Emmerich. Paul Regneri was originally an entrepreneur in the pharmaceuticals industry and considered the purchase to be a new challenge.

1970

In Theodor-Rehbock-Strasse, the adjacent piece of land was purchased from Max Maier Metallbau. The polymer injection molding factory then moved into the building located on the new site. This allowed the dental production facilities to expand into the space that became available.

1972

The dental division moved into Roonstrasse 23a in Karlsruhe.

1979

The company Dexter Produits Dentaires Sarl was taken over by Laboratoiries Boehringer Ingelheim, France. DEXTER was established as a distribution company for dental products in France. In the same year, the company moved from Reims to Paris.

1980

In January 1980 the company Molloplast KG Kösnter & Co., Oberursel, was taken over and moved to Karlsruhe. Molloplast had developed products for plasticizing reline materials.

1986

After the death of Paul Regneri in December 1986, DETAX Karl Huber KG was converted to a GmbH & Co KG and his son Peter Regneri took over the management of the company.

1987

Introduction of consumables for the otoplastics sector.

1992

Completion of a new building in Ettlingen, Carl-Zeiss-Strasse 4. In the summer, the company moved from Theodor-Rehbock-Strasse and Roonstrasse to Ettlingen.

1997

Sale of the company DEXTER Sarl, France, to the company Dental Emco, France.

1998

Construction of production facilities for light curing polymers.

2003

The company name was change to DETAX GmbH & Co KG.

2011

In April 2011 Ursula Juretzki-Mangold, Ralf König, and Herbert Schmidt were appointed as additional managing directors.

2013

New production facilities in the dental and otoplastics sector “Light-curing polymers for open 3D printers”

2015

The product highlights on the Detax stand at the IDS were without a doubt the biocompatible FREEPRINT® 3D materials. The new generation of printable dental polymers was specifically developed to satisfy the stringent requirements placed on dental models and restorations.

2017

Under the motto "Material 4.0", we presented seven new high-performance composites and concentrated know-how on 3D printing and medical products at the IDS 2017.

2018

Our company complex expanded with our new modern warehouse. It can offer the ideal storage temperature by using a low energy air conditioning system. DETAX installed solar panelling on the roof of the building which provides 35% of our total electricity needed. An electric filling station is available for electric cars.

2019

Innovative DLP resins: CERTIFIED, VALIDATED, RELIABLE. At the EUHA 2019 we presented 30 printable high-performance resins for the earmould laboratory.

2020

YES! We did it! DETAX has successfully passed the first MDR audit in 2020 and is one of the first companies of its sector with MDR certification.
