“This is an exciting milestone for NDX,” says Tom Daulton, Chairman and CEO of NDX. “We’re thrilled to tap into Cerberus’ financial and operational expertise, which will allow us to expand our manufacturing capabilities, pursue strategic lab acquisitions, and invest in new dental technologies. The support from Cerberus will only enhance our ability to deliver superior quality products and service to our customers as we continue to shape the future of the dental lab industry.”

We see compelling organic and inorganic growth opportunities to build on NDX’s industry-leading platform. NDX is well-positioned to capitalize on strong market trends as new and larger DSOs and independent dentists seek lab partners that deliver best-in-class solutions and exceptional customer service at scale.”
