In 1930, our grandfather Benjamin Cohen opened a small dental depot in downtown Wilkes-Barre. Since then, Benco Dental has become the nation's largest independent dental distributor, with operations in 35 states. Key to our growth has been the excellent and dedicated team of Benco associates who deliver success, smile after smile, to thousands of dental customers every day. When we outgrew our previous facility, the quality and loyalty of our people made it an easy decision to stay and invest right here in Northeastern PA.

Our work force at the Entenmann's Pittston DC confirms that the NEPA strong work ethic is indeed a fact and not a myth. Our employees treat the business as if they own it and pay close attention to detail to ensure that the job is done right. In addition, there is a strong sense of community within the work force that further reinforces the decision that our company made to locate their first-ever cake distribution center in this area.

We have a tremendous group of dedicated, hard working people who helped us pull together a triumphant year. We have a very, very productive team.
