Many success stories have curious beginnings and the development of Dürr Dental’spremium product, Orotol, is no exception. The first formulation for Germany's market-leading disinfectant for suction units was not developed in a high-tech laboratory, but in a bathroom! In 1965, Ludwig Pflug created the first formulation for Orotol together with Walter Dürr. Fifty years on, Orotol is Dürr Dental’s flagship hygiene product and occupies the top position in the German market.

To celebrate the product's 50-year anniversary, the company will be running the "Orotol Golden Draw" for the whole of 2015. The response to this promotion has been huge: The company has already received hundreds of entries from all around the world, not only from guests at IDS 2015 in Cologne but also from members of the trade press and online media platforms.

The names of three more lucky winners have been drawn since the first winning ticket was picked in the IDS special raffle. Dürr Dental would like to congratulate Dr. Michael Neidlinger from Holzkirchen (Germany), Dr. Peter Kalitzki from Brunswick (Germany) and the Mondzorg Westfriesland Surgery in Enkhuizen (Netherlands) on winning their bars of gold.

The winners residing in Germany had their gold presented to them personally by Andreas Possin and Jörg Wagner, who are Area Sales Managers at Dürr Dental. The winning practice in the Netherlands was delighted to receive a "golden visit" by Eric Ponsen, the Dutch National Representative of Dürr Dental.

Dental health professionals aged 18 years and above can still win a gold ingot throughout the year. In total, Dürr Dental is giving away three 20 g gold prizes four times throughout the year. You can apply at www.orotol.com
