Dental device distributors in Belgium: 14 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 14 establishments in Belgium whose registry records include dental: 3 independent distributors (a channel role such as importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative, and no manufacturing of their own), 3 manufacturers' own import or sales entities, 0 regulatory representatives, and 8 manufacturers or exporters, out of 695 medical device establishments in Belgium overall. The records come from US FDA (openFDA), EUDAMED, Health Canada and MHRA UK, last seen on 23 October 2026.
Dental covers equipment, implants, consumables and intraoral imaging sold to clinics and laboratories rather than hospitals. Dental dealers are a separate channel from hospital distributors, with their own wholesalers and trade shows. The segment usually has many establishments with small registration counts each.
By role
| Role | Establishments | Share | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Importer | 5 | 36% | Named as importer in a registry: EUDAMED importer, FDA initial importer, or a Gulf import licence. |
| Distributor | 1 | 7% | Holds a distribution licence or is listed as distributor (Health Canada MDEL, SFDA, Oman MOH). |
| Authorised representative | 1 | 7% | Represents a foreign manufacturer towards the regulator (EU authorised representative and similar). |
| Registration holder | 2 | 14% | Holds device licences or registrations in its own name (Health Canada MDALL licence holder). |
| Manufacturer | 10 | 71% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
| Exporter | 1 | 7% | Registered with the US FDA as an exporter of devices made for export. |
An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
Who holds the registration in Belgium
In the EU and EEA the manufacturer, or its EU authorised representative for manufacturers based outside the EU, registers in EUDAMED and holds the CE marking file. Importers and distributors register separately as economic operators and never own the registration, which is why EU channel changes are easier than elsewhere.
