A Message From Our CEO Dear Doctor and Staff: Thank you for taking the time to visit our online store and to learn more about Sinclair Dental. Modern-day Sinclair Dental, as we know it, began in 1988 by Dr. Arjang Nowtash. Having been with Sinclair Dental for over 30 years, I am proud of our reputation and honoured to build upon the legacy of our former President and CEO. As one of Canada's most successful, privately-owned dental supply companies, our success can only be attributed to your support, giving us the opportunity to grow to 11 locations across the country, coast to coast, with a team of over 650 members. In our pursuit to provide you with the best possible service, the Sinclair Dental Team regularly works with our manufacturer partners to remain informed and knowledgeable in the most current offerings available to Canadian dentists and staff. We also understand that respect and trust are paramount in any relationship and it is upon those values that the Sinclair Team is built. I close by thanking you for your unwavering support and extend my personal assurance that we will strive to continue to meet your needs and exceed your expectations. Sincerely, Shahab Soltani, PhD Chief Executive Officer In Memoriam Modern day Sinclair Dental, as it is known today, may have been formed under the leadership and direction of Dr. Arjang Nowtash but it took Arjang a lifetime of work and dedication to accomplish this achievement. Born in Tehran in 1945, Arjang grew up surrounded by the dental business. His father, a denturist by trade, had Arjang work in the shop alongside him, watching and learning the art of customer service. A skill that is often lost on people became the foundation to Arjang’s and Sinclair Dental’s success. While Arjang became a dentist himself, the call to work with his father was too great and after a few years of practicing dentistry he decided to join his father with his dental supply business in Iran. Eventually, Arjang took over the operation but due to difficult times within the country, he and his family moved to their new home of Canada in 1983. Arjang always wanted to re-enter the dental industry and when the opportunity arose to own a dental supply business, he jumped on the occasion and in 1988 he became the proud new owner of Sinclair Dental. Using the skills he acquired back in Iran, Arjang brought a unique and very customer-centric approach to the Canadian dental industry. Prior to Arjang’s involvement with Sinclair Dental, the company had a dozen employees and $1.5 million in total sales. Soon after his acquisition, Dentists in Western Canada began to take notice of Sinclair Dental and took a chance on Arjang. Fast forward 30 years, with a team of over 600 people behind him, Arjang had grown Sinclair Dental to a national, full-service company with annual sales of more than $250 million. Arjang achieved more of the Canadian Dream than he ever thought possible. His good fortunes were never taken for granted. Arjang regularly gave back to the community. While his philanthropic efforts were largely kept quiet, he focused them on improving the health of the underprivileged, both inside and outside of Canada. In 2018, in Arjang’s 30th year of ownership, he passed away. In his 72 years, Arjang lived a bright life with a vigour and energy that most can only dream of. He was proud to have his three sons work alongside him, much like how he worked with his father. Arjang loved what he did - coming to work with his family and serving the dental community of Canada. His legacy continues. Company History 1971 Sinclair Dental Established Bruce Sinclair left Denco in 1971 to enter the dental supply business and founded Sinclair Dental which was initially run from his West Vancouver home. As a result of securing key distribution agreements with several industry leading dental manufacturers, Bruce was able to develop Sinclair Dental into a company with a dozen employees and annual sales of $1.5 million in British Columbia. 1987 During an Unassuming Drive… During an unassuming drive along one of North Vancouver's side streets in 1987, Dr. Arjang Nowtash chanced upon Sinclair Dental and by early 1988 was the proud owner of the company that would ultimately be the instrument of his success. Over the next few years, Arjang passionately immersed himself in Sinclair gleaning an intimate understanding of all facets of the company that he completely restructured and positioned for its unprecedented growth. 1988 New Beginnings The decade of expansion that followed was almost totally internally generated. Known for his fierce independence and instinctive beliefs, Arjang was able to attract many of the industry's finest sales people and, through their flexible and unique approach to meeting the changing needs of the profession, Sinclair Dental became the leading full-service dental supply company in Western Canada. This period was also marked by a significant increase in the company's scope of products and services, revolutionary improvements to distribution and equipment servicing as well as its reputation for providing complete dental office design and installation. 1990 Winnipeg Branch Opened 1993 Calgary Branch Opened 1994 Edmonton Branch Opened Edmonton branch was opened. As well, the rapid expansion of the company resulted in outgrowing its original quarters and Sinclair had to move to a new location. 2000 Toronto, London and Ottawa Branches Opened Sinclair continued its expansion eastward into Ontario by first opening a branch in Toronto and subsequently, in London and Ottawa. 2005 New State-of-the-Art Head-Office In late 2005, just over a decade after the last move, Sinclair moved into its new state-of-the-art head-office facility in North Vancouver. 2005 Regina Branch Opened In 2005, Sinclair opened its Saskatchewan branch in Regina. 2006 Montréal and Québec City Branches Opened In 2006, Sinclair continued its road eastwards to Québec when it proudly announced the simultaneous opening of 2 new branches in Montréal and Québec City. 2014 Halifax Branch Opened In January 2014, Sinclair’s Halifax branch opened its doors to serving clients in the Maritimes. The expansion into the Maritimes provides Sinclair the opportunity to offer its products and services, to clients, coast to coast. 2018 New Toronto Distribution Centre Opened In 2018, Sinclair Dental built a new 45,000 square foot distribution centre as a commitment to better serve central and eastern Canada. The Toronto facility will ensure fast shipping, end-to-end service and a comprehensive showroom featuring the most up to date technology available to the dental community. 2021 Celebrating Our 50th Anniversary On March 30th, 1971, Sinclair Dental was established. Since then, we have grown from a company with a dozen employees to the largest privately-owned Canadian full-service dental distributor – with a team of over 650 employees, 11 offices across the country, and annual sales of more than $260M.
