Enterprise Investors Fund IX (EIF IX) has announced an investment in Scan Lab, the largest digital dental prosthetics laboratory in Poland. The value of the deal has not been disclosed. EIF IX and the company’s CEO, Damian Waliłko, will acquire 100% of Scan Lab in this transaction. The seller is a Polish investment fund managed by Forum TFI.
Scan Lab is an innovative Polish company specializing in digital solutions for dental prosthetics and orthodontics. Since its establishment in 2017, the laboratory has offered dentists and orthodontists fully digital technology for fabricating prosthetic restorations such as crowns and veneers as well as orthodontic aligners. These solutions cover every stage of treatment, from diagnostics and analysis to design and production of custom-fitted products.
What caught the attention of Enterprise Investors is the uniqueness and high quality of Scan Lab’s solutions. The company’s business model, based on digital technologies and excellent logistics, represents a significant barrier to market entry and makes it difficult to replicate. This is reflected in the strong financial results and high growth dynamics – in 2024 Scan Lab plans to reach EUR 12 million in revenue.
Enterprise Investors partner Michał Kędzia, who is responsible for the investment in Scan Lab, commented: “This transaction marks another foray by EI into the healthcare sector. Encouraged by previous successes, we decided to invest in this key sector of the economy once again”. He added: “The foundations for the dynamic development of modern prosthetics and orthodontics are extremely strong, bolstered by growing patient awareness regarding health and aesthetics. We believe that Scan Lab, under the leadership of its CEO and our new partner Damian Waliłko, will significantly improve quality of life for many patients in Poland and abroad”.
Our goal is to support dentists and dental clinic owners in the adoption of modern digital prosthetics technology,” said Damian Waliłko, adding: “At the core of this process is the use of 3D scanners, which have transformed prosthetics and orthodontics in recent years. Full digitalization of the workflow provides unprecedented comfort for patients and gives both the clinician and the laboratory complete control over creating custom restorations. Ultimately, the most important factor is the quality of the final product, be it a prosthesis, crown, veneer or set of orthodontic aligners. Thanks to digitalization and the scale of our operations we can tailor our solutions to the specific needs of each dentist, which allows us to create many beautiful new smiles more expeditiously.”
