ProDrive Systems Announces Benco Dental as Latest Distributor Partner

Montreal, Canada – April 19, 2010 -- ProDrive Systems today announced its partnership with Benco Dental, a leading dental supply and equipment distributor servicing over 39 states in the United States. The agreement allows Benco Dental to introduce ProDrive‘s innovative handpiece and bur products to dentists throughout their respective regions.
 
ProDrive upgrade turbines retrofit into leading brand handpieces and lock with the ProDrive triangular shank bur to prevent the bur from slipping and enable faster, smoother cutting, superior control and improved precision. ProDrive offers a full selection of diamond and carbide burs featuring a unique bur-lengthening quality that allows the bur to be safely extended by 3mm, providing smooth and precise cuts even in difficult-to-reach areas. ProDrive also offers its own High-Speed Handpieces in Mini and Standard, with an ergonomic design and titanium sleeve to ensure optimal performance and reduced noise levels.
 
“ProDrive’s innovative products offer a high-performance solution to dentists who have become frustrated with the outdated friction grip design of regular handpieces”, said Paul Jackson, Vice President of Marketing at Benco Dental. “We are excited about offering ProDrive to our customers, and expect it to be a leading product for Benco in 2010.”
 
“We are proud to welcome Benco Dental as one of our authorized distributors in America”, said Richard St-Pierre, CEO of ProDrive Systems. “ProDrive is experiencing rapid customer growth and our distribution through Benco Dental will support the growing demand for ProDrive. Benco Dental is a very powerful strategic partner providing ProDrive extended market reach into the loyal Benco customer base.”
