We empower employees to develop to their highest potential. A workplace focused on total well-being for the entire family.

It’s the only way we know how to run a business.
Because it's about the big picture. Paying it forward. For everyone.
Everything I’ve seen at A-dec speaks to our culture and our people. I hope to leave behind a legacy of someone who cared.

Innovation happens when people love the details of what they do. It starts by taking the very best of your skills and talents. Then dig a little deeper.
A-dec started with just 5 employees in a little machine shop in Newberg, OR. As each person honed their craft, the company grew. The secret to our success? Find what you love and give it your all. That's why we support local technical and trade programs, provide on-the-job development opportunities, and promote from within.
Because passion for details makes the best better.
I was given the opportunity to contribute to our software development process. I really value being able to provide feedback on a project from beginning to end.

Every success story is about discovery.
It begins with a positive environment for self-development. Take what you know and strive to learn something new each day. It continues with coaching and feedback. Providing guidance and direction to find your greatest potential. Our employees have access to a generous tuition reimbursement benefit, career progression resources, and professional development programs.
Because when you succeed, we all succeed.
When I asked A-dec about tuition reimbursement, it was simple and easy. I didn’t have to prove who I wanted to be – they accepted that I had a dream and a direction I wanted to go.

Daily habits impact health. So, we offer on-campus fitness groups, healthier food vending options and a beautiful campus to enjoy throughout the workday. Then, we consider long-term factors that can lead to total health. A-dec believes that a benefits package is more than just health insurance—a holistic approach to well-being that truly allows you to prosper.
The value we bring outside of A-dec is important as well. That encompasses family, passion, purpose, who you are as a person.

Although the world has changed since our company was founded, our values have never wavered. The A-dec Way continues to guide the company today, into our tomorrow.
Giving back to our community and helping others is at the heart of A-dec. That’s why our employees raise thousands of dollars each year for fellow employees in need. They partner with customers to donate used dental equipment to clinics in underdeveloped countries. They build clearer pathways to education for youth in China. They strengthen local healthcare systems in the UK.
Why do we give? Because together, we can help make our communities stronger, healthier, and more successful.
Rota-Dent & TotaChair
A-dec co-founder Ken Austin was determined to create a partnership with Rotary Clubs to help bring portable dental solutions to under-served populations around the world. In response, Ken engineered the Rota-Dent and TotaChair. Today, more than 80,000 people have received care from outreach volunteers using this unique equipment.
