Lascod

Lascod is an Italian dental materials and instruments company founded in 1946 and headquartered in Sesto Fiorentino, Florence. The company manufactures and distributes dental impression materials, including alginates and silicones, as well as cements, plasters, cleaners, impression trays, and dental instruments for professional use. Lascod is known for Kromopan, described by the company as the first chromatic alginate, and for its broader chromatic indicator technology used in dental materials. In addition to its own branded portfolio, Lascod operates a substantial private-label manufacturing business and serves customers through a worldwide distribution network. The company appears to be a commercial-stage healthcare manufacturer rather than a drug-development biotech.
