The model-tray® model fabrication system was developed in the 1970s by Gerd Haker, a master dental technician in Hamburg, who at the time managed his own dental laboratory with some 30 employees.
The considerable efforts in time, which were commonplace in those days, and the frequently unsatisfactory precision in model fabrication, presented a challenge to the perfectionist in considering easier and yet precise alternatives.
The perfectly thought out model-tray® products quickly found grateful customers in the dental laboratories, turning model-tray® GmbH, founded in 1978, into a very successful company.
Since then, the model-tray® brand has been continuously developed further and has become one of the most popular methods for model fabrication in dental laboratories in over 50 countries with its perfectly matched products.
Practical processing steps and precision without pins offer a high level of work convenience as well as time savings of 75 %. Numerous product extensions make everyday laboratory routines easier for dental technicians.
As an autonomous and independent family-run business in the second and third generation with its roots in dental technology, the manufacturing and sales of practical working tools "Made in Germany" at a fair price remains the model-tray® passion, both then and today.
