Zirkonzahn was founded in 2005 and has its headquarters in the heart of South Tyrolean mountains (Italy). The business is owned by Enrico Steger, MDT, who made his name in professional circles by inventing the Zirkograph, the manual zirconia milling machine, and the well-known Prettau® Bridge, the monolithic full bridge made with the translucent Prettau® zirconia. Mr. Steger now runs the company together with his son, MDT Julian Steger, starting the company’s second generation. What started as a one-person business is now a workplace for almost 300 employees all over the world, in various branch offices and training centers.
