Melville, NY– In an effort to gain a foothold in Kentucky, California, and Texas, medical, dental, and veterinary supplies giant Henry Schein has acquired the dental distribution operations of Phoenix, AZ-based Zila. Terms of the all-cash acquisition were not disclosed. Zila will become part of Henry Schein’s U.S. dental business, Sullivan-Schein Dental.
