Align Technology Launches Treatment Planning Facility in Spain

Align Technology (NASDQ:ALGN), a global medical device company engaged in the design, manufacture and marketing of the Invisalign system and iTero intraoral scanners and services for orthodontic and restorative dentistry, announced today the launch of the new digital treatment planning facility and education centre in Madrid, Spain.

As quoted in the press release:

The new launch reflects the dynamic growth of Spain and Portugal (jointly known as Iberia) in the EMEA region and beyond. Iberia is the third largest Invisalign market worldwide (after North America and China), growing dynamically year on year.

The second of its kind in Europe and the fourth worldwide, the treatment planning facility in Madrid aims to increase the company’s commitment to Invisalign trained doctors in Spain and Portugal, and will play a key role in Align Technology`s strategy to be closer to its customers and support them in digital treatment planning. The new facility, which will also act as education centre for doctors, will bring together current commercial teams representing Iberia and the new treatment planning team to provide Spanish and Portuguese doctors with first-hand support from the local staff. The new 3,500 square meter office will host 185 employees by the end of 2018 – a significant increase from the 10 employees employed in Spain since 2013.

“Since we launched our operations in the country 17 years ago, we have seen continuous growth and have played an important role in expanding Align’s operations in the EMEA region,” explained Juan Manuel Frade, Align Technology general manager, Iberia. “The city of Madrid offers a vibrant ecosystem for innovative companies, while our new facilities support Align`s efforts to offer first-hand local support to Spanish and Portuguese dental professionals, helping them achieve the clinical results they expect and deliver effective, cutting-edge dental options to their patients.”
