VATECH Global Co., Ltd., the overseas sales subsidiary of VATECH; and Gnatus, the largest company in dental equipments business operations in Brazil, had embarked in a 7.2 million US dollar agreement for VATECH's supply of PaX-400 digital dental diagnostic imaging equipments to Gnatus. The contract is effective until 2013.
"This agreement has reaffirmed Vatech's no.1 position in the Latin America market" quoted Mr. Eunhwan Cho, Vatech Global's South America business unit General Manager.
Gnatus officials paid an official visit at the VATECH Networks headquarter offices in South Korea last June 18, 2012.
Gnatus, a Brazilian company which has head office in Sao Paolo Brazil, began operations in 1976. The name *Gnatus came from the Greek word "Gnathus", which means jaw. Initially, Gnatus manufacture articulators - or devices that stimulates the movement of the jaw, as reflected in the company name. Later, the company started local production and sales of dental chairs and other dental devices with high regard for quality and technology. Now in its 36 years in business, the number of employees has reached to more than 700. Gnatus is known not just in South America but worldwide with exports to more than 130 countries.
Gnatus officials first visited VATECH in 2010 at the smaller building in Giheung Yongin City, which was previously used as the head office. Since then, VATECH has had considerable growth, changes, and expansion of business operations and management. So now, 2 years later, Gnatus officials revisited Vatech and was surprised with the new and bigger head office buildings, as well as other improvements with the VATECH Networks of companies.

Vatech personnel guided the Gnatus visitors to a tour at the Humanray sensor manufacturing area, where they get to see the actual production area for CMOS-based sensors, and at the Rayence Flat Panel X-ray Detectors (FPXD) manufacturing area within the VATECH Networks building. Afterwards, they went to the adjacent VATECH building and toured the dental imaging equipments manufacturing area. There, they get to see the entire line-up of dental imaging systems of Vatech, from the initial production to the finished products, especially the newest addition to Vatech's product line, the PaX-i system.
Mr. Gilberto Nomelini, CEO of Gnatus, showed great interest in VATECH's capability to independently manufacture a finished product wholly through VATECH's in-house product manufacturing, as well as research and development of digital sensors & 3D software.
