Cora was started in 1976 by Bob Raths with the goal of establishing a high-quality refinery for the dental lab industry. Under Bob's leadership, the company has experienced tremendous growth, servicing labs in all 50 states and in Canada. Over the years the company has earned a solid reputation among lab owners for providing results that meet or exceed their expectations. We condsider this a great achievement and plan to continue to strengthen our standing in the industry by doing what we do best - providing accurate results for our clients.
Cora's top priority is accuracy. We utilize fire assay and gravimetric precipitation to ensure the best results for our clients. These methods are time-tested techniques and remain one of the most statistically accurate in precious metals reclamation. As technology has expanded in recent years, many other techniques have emerged that provide faster results. We have examined many of these alternatives, but have decided that none could meet the standards set by our current methods. If accuracy is your highest priority, then Cora is the right choice for you.
Here at Cora we recognize that in our increasingly global society, a multitude of opportunities and challenges are emerging for us all. We believe that in order to keep the dental lab industry strong and growing, we all need to do our part. To help achieve this goal Cora supports dental lab associations through affiliate memberships, sponsorship of events, and financial support for educational opportunities within the industry. Together we can make a difference.
