PATTERSON DENTAL CO. St. Paul, Minnesota; Dental Supply Firm Opens Wide For Buyouts.(THE NEW AMERICA)
Byline: MARILYN MUCH
Most companies wait until they digest a major buy before scouting another. Patterson Dental Co. isn't one of them.
It's the nation's top supplier of dental products and a major consolidator in its fragmented field. Since July 2001, Patterson has bought three companies.
Its most recent purchase came in July, when it acquired Distribution Quebec Dentaire Inc., a dental products distributor with $10 million in annual sales.
That buy came three months after Patterson's $22 million purchase of Thompson Dental Co., a top 10 distributor that serves the mid-Atlantic and Southeast.
More Buys To Come?
The company's biggest buy came in July 2001, when it paid about $95 million for veterinary supply firm J.A. Webster Inc.
