Dental device distributors in Belgium: 14 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 14 establishments in Belgium whose registry records include dental: 6 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 1 registration holders without a channel role, and 7 registered as manufacturer or exporter only, out of 690 medical device establishments in Belgium overall. The records come from US FDA (openFDA), EUDAMED, Health Canada and web, 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.

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.
