Founded in 1977, SOPRO is established in La Ciotat (Southeast France).
Sopro specializes in offering a wide range of electronics products focused on dental imaging (intra-oral cameras and digital radiology systems) in order to meet the dental surgeons’ needs no matter what the operatory layout may be.
SOPRO’s expertise is equally employed in the development of medical devices for endoscopy (cameras, light sources, insufflators, irrigators).
The acquisition of the German company COMEG (manufacturer of optics and instrumentation) is a nice complement to products already offered by SOPRO – making it truly a range of specialty items used in a domain including laparoscopy, arthroscopy, urology, gynecology, and ENT procedures.
SOPRO’s staff of about 80 employees includes 13 engineers in the R&D department who always collaborate with dentists and surgeons. The endoscopy division located in Tuttlingen alone numbers 70.
