| We chart our beginnings from the time our founder, Ben Weitzman, left Philadelphia and established Mohawk Dental in Utica, New York. The date was 1916. He traveled by train and built a following among the dentists within the Mohawk Valley communities of upstate New York. | |

| Mohawk Dental continues to be family-owned and is now a 3rd generation business headquartered in Syracuse, New York and servicing primarily the Upstate New York area. We owe our success to the support of our customers and, consequently, their success is our primary concern. We strive to reach our customers through all avenues that our customers find beneficial. Our Flyers and Catalog were developed for this reason and to better communicate the options available in the supply and equipment areas. Our reliance on territory sales representatives is the best way to assist our customers with their daily needs. And now, with the design and development of our web site, we continue to reach out through technology to our customer base. As the needs of our customers have changed over the years, we have attempted to provide a greater wealth of value-added services. The management of time through product and technology is increasing as a need, and the guidance we make available, as solution providers, will be an increasingly important part of the mix. | |

| As we complete our 86th year, we still subscribe to the traditional view of a full service distributor. We have pursued this direction to become the only stocking dealer in many of our current markets. We are long standing members of both the American Dental Trade Association and the American Dental Cooperative and maintain a tradition of giving our services to the industry. The Cooperative connection we maintain with ADC, an essential ingredient in our expectations of the future, insures our ability to stay competitive. | |

| What makes us different from our competitors is our commitment to value-added services and our local presence with the inventory position we maintain. We believe that success is achieved only through excellent customer service. We strive for excellence by maintaining high product fill rates and by consistently trying to improve those rates. Additionally, we believe excellence is achieved through constant attention to details. It is the details that our customers remember and it is the management of our fill rates as well as other operational details that allow us to be efficient and profitable. And, we believe, it is our family business orientation that allows us the flexibility to strive for both. | |
