Medicalfit

Medicalfit (officially the Medicalfit Research & Investment Group) is a Spanish business group specialising in dental technology and the production of prosthetics using digital workflows. It is headquartered in Úbeda (Jaén) and operates in Spain, Mexico and Romania.

History

The company's origins can be traced back to 1995, when Laboratorios Pedro Perales was established in Begíjar, Jaén. The company specialised in manufacturing dental prostheses. The following year, the business relocated to Úbeda and shifted its focus to cosmetic dentistry and dental ceramics.

The company was formally incorporated as Laboratorios Pedro Perales, S.L.P. in 2008. From the 2010s onwards, it began using digital processes in prosthesis manufacture, including computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies.

In 2023, the Medicalfit Research & Investment Group was established, comprising various companies involved in technology, manufacturing, and training.
