Lares Research may be the best kept secret in dentistry. Founded in 1956, we’re a second-generation family-owned American manufacturer and make most of our products in rural northern California. We sell super-precise, high-quality handpieces factory direct so dentists can get the best value and have a great experience every time!
Manufacturing Handpieces Sustainably With Solar Power
On August 19, 2016, Lares Research activated its new 238 kW roof top solar power generation system, bolstering its efforts to manufacture its dental handpieces sustainably. Consisting of 728 solar panels, the system is designed to generate enough power to provide 78% of the Lares 30,000 square foot factory’s annual power consumption.
Craig Lares, Board Chairman, said: “We are proud to have dramatically reduced our carbon footprint while still manufacturing the highest quality dental handpieces available.”
