History
Benco Dental has been privately owned and operated since 1930, when first-generation owner, Benjamin Cohen, moved to Northeast Pennsylvania after six years of traveling from train station to train station, selling dental supplies.
Benco Dental is now the largest privately owned full-service distributor of dental supplies, dental equipment, dental consulting & dental equipment services. The company has remained family-owned and is in its third generation of leadership. During the company's 80-year history, Benco Dental has grown from a single storefront location in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, into the nation's fastest-growing dental distributor, with 50 regional showroom locations and 5 distribution centers servicing over 30,000 dental professionals in 48 states and Washington D.C.
In 2010, Benco Dental opened a new 280,000-square-foot (26,000 m2) corporate headquarters, distribution center and equipment showroom in Pittston, Pennsylvania. The new facility, CenterPoint, houses the largest dental equipment showroom in North America, featuring 25 fully functional operatories, 13 operational digital imaging panoramic X-rays including 2D and 3D units, 3 sterilization centers, office design & lab concept suites and a summit training center that will host continuing education courses. Benco operates two other "Destination CenterPoints" in Costa Mesa, California, and Flower Mound, Texas. Additionally Benco Dental's footprint includes four distribution centers: Fort Wayne, Indiana, Jacksonville, Florida, Reno, Nevada, and Dallas, Texas, over 400 professionally trained sales territory representatives and 300 factory-trained service technicians.
