How a CNC Membership Benefits Their Lab

"CNC has been an incredible partner for our laboratory. Since joining the group we have seen savings from most of our existing vendors and we’ve been introduced to new trustworthy vendors. Razi and the team at CNC are always available when we have questions and always keep us updated with new vendors and group discounts. The membership more than pays for itself."

Harry Brodmann - Director of Operations
Pan-Am Dental Lab

"I am one of the Board Directors at CNC, but also a member of CNC which has helped our company on many fronts. The superior pricing on materials, shipping, and services has allowed me to compete on a higher level. Even being a larger lab, I was unable to negotiate the pricing that national labs have been able to and now being a member of CNC, I am getting combined purchasing power of hundreds of labs. I save 10's of thousands of dollars a year which goes straight to my bottom line. It was a no brainer to join CNC over 10 years ago."

Reed Nunnally - President
Derby Dental Laboratory

"Absolute joined the CNC group almost 5 years ago. At first, I was only interested in the extremely competitive pricing CNC was able to negotiate on behalf of the members, but quickly realized that pricing was only the tip of a much larger iceberg. During the COVID pandemic my team found that the continual communication regarding industry news and government program updates to be invaluable in helping us navigate those uncertain times. CNC has become a crucial partner on our journey!"

Conrad J Rensburg - Owner
Absolute Dental Services

“CNC gives us access to buying power with key suppliers that we wouldn’t otherwise be able to attain. We’ve been able to access excellent resources such as collection agencies and credit card processors who cater to the dental lab industry. CNC has been an exceptional value for the monthly subscription. We have been very happy with our affiliation and would recommend it to others without reservation.”

Jim Thacker, CEO and CFO
Utah Valley Dental Lab, Inc

"I've been with the CNC Group for about 10 years now. It's been one of the smartest business decisions we've made. The savings from our vendor partners has been amazing to say the least. Just the discounts from UPS alone, far more than cover the monthly dues. The meetings, in co-operation with the Cal-Lab Meeting, in Chicago every year allows us unfettered access to vendors and their newest products without feeling pressure. A great group to be a part of!"

Jeff Stronk - Owner
Treasure Dental Studio

"Switching to CNC was effortless. CNC let all of our vendors know that we were a partner of theirs now. Our vendors took it from there. They reach out to us to make sure that our account number and billing address were accurate, and we restarted seeing results from our affiliation with CNC immediately. We are still using all of the same materials that we always have and our lab is doing better than it ever has. Thanks CNC"

Tony Prestipino, CDT
President of Artifex Dental Lab

"When I was invited to join CNC over 10 years ago I thought, “ Why not, it can’t hurt anything and maybe I will save a few dollars”. I found that I had honestly underestimated the value being a CNC member would bring both personally and financially. Utilizing the purchasing agreements the group has in place, my laboratory saves a very significant amount of money and that is only one benefit of membership. The annual meetings provide an insight into what new technology is available and what will come soon in a very interactive collegial setting. The atmosphere feels as though a group of like-minded friends are discussing mutual interests. CNC members are always happy to openly share their experiences concerning products and services and I have made many good friends through my membership."

Jim Gorgol, CDT
President of Distinctive Dental Studio, LTD.

"Being members of CNC Group has saved our lab time and money. We are so fortunate to get to work with CNC! We like the fact that our lab can independently work with any vendor we like, also has the buying power from the vendors in CNC group. We can confidently say we have made a great choice being part of CNC group."

Anita Cranford, CDT; Elise Holasek, CDT
Owners of Identical Dental Lab

"We quickly jumped on board with CNC back in 2017 after being referred by an industry colleague and we are so glad we did! Being a member of CNC has paid off in spades helping us to lower our expenses in all areas of our business. Additionally, the CNC Group has proactively continued to bring new vendors in saving us more and more money over time. Plus, CNC has also been an advocate for us in creating new partnerships for integration and further discounts we were not able to obtain on our own. We would highly recommend taking advantage of all that CNC has to offer. You will be glad you did too!"

Tom and Beth Wiand
Wiand Dental Lab, Inc.

"Anytime you can be a part of something bigger than yourself – I would suggest it! CNC allows for just that very concept, a group of like-minded businesses striving to attach themselves to something bigger. Not just bigger for the sake of bigger, but for the ideals that ‘together we are stronger’. The CNC Group continues to support and allow for growth opportunities to all it’s members, the network is strengthened by new partners, both vendors and laboratories. The collection of partners continues to grow in the favor of all CNC members – only those prominent vendors are targeted which specifically aid in our ability to offer quality in our work. After being with CNC for 6 years now, I find this to be an extremely valuable group to be a part of."

Sean Seigel
Castable Ceramics

"CNC group was something I had been watching for a few years, but just was hesitant to take the leap. It was hard not fully knowing or understanding what the group benefits really included. Now that we have joined, I’m kicking myself for not joining sooner! The amount of companies they have worked to include in the group is amazing. Thank you to everyone who has participated in such a great organization!"
