A-dec Australia

Mission: At A-dec, we strive to provide a quality environment where people work together for the betterment of dentistry worldwide.

The A-dec vision began with a simple idea: make the best better. From our simple beginnings, A-dec has emerged as one of the most respected names in the dental industry. In 1964, founders Ken and Joan Austin made the biggest choice of their lives: risk it all to start a company of their own. Little did they know that an invention and a dream would help revolutionize the world of dentistry.

More than 50 years later, A-dec is an employer of choice and the world’s leading manufacturer of reliable dental operatory equipment. We continue to work for the betterment of dentistry. That’s why we embed our values into the work we do every day. One choice at a time.

Come join our team.

Being an industry leader means putting people first. Always.

Headquartered in beautiful Newberg, Oregon, A-dec has a solid reputation for reliability in the dental industry. We believe in the value of people and have built our entire culture around that simple notion: people come first.

We empower employees to develop to their highest potential by offering opportunities for technical innovation, leadership development, and personal challenge. Whether you are in machining, customer service, assembly, or communications, we want to elevate you to your highest potential. This is what makes A-dec different from other employers; a workplace focused on total well-being for the entire family. A place to grow.

We extend that same concern for people to our peers, customers, and community. It’s the only way we know how to run a business. Because it’s about the big picture. Paying it forward. For everyone.

“Everything I’ve seen at A-dec speaks to our culture and our people. I hope to leave behind a legacy of someone that cared.”
