DB Orthodontics acquires extra site in growth move

FAST growing DB Orthodontics has acquired a new £500,000 unit.

The orthodontic and laboratory supply company’s 6,740 sq ft purchase is adjoining its existing premises in Silsden, West Yorkshire and it now owns the entire 21,260 sq ft site. It has invested over £1.6m in the accommodation at the development.
   
DB Orthodontics acquired the site with advice from commercial property consultant Chris Green, at Yorkshire law firm Gordons.

DB Orthodontics founder, David Burdess, said: “Chris was particularly valuable in this transaction because of the quality of his relationship with NatWest, the bankers involved.”

DB Orthodontics won the Queen’s Award earlier this year for its success in international trade. In the last three years, it has recorded foreign sales growth of over 130% and entered 15 new markets, creating a distribution network spanning 45 countries on six continents. DB Orthodontics now employs 28 people, with exports accounting for 29% of its turnover.

Mr Green said: “DB Orthodontics’ expansion provides a huge vote of confidence in its own future and indicates its commitment to the Silsden area. The latest premises deal made sense for both parties, as DB needed the additional space.”
