NDE and QDS at ADX Brisbane 2026
ADX 2026 in Brisbane has been a great success.
Our NDE and QDS stand attracted a lot of attention, allowing existing customers and prospective clients to see new A-dec chairs alongside our refurbished chairs. As we supply new upholstery, electric motors and often new LED lights as part of the refurbishment many attendees had trouble picking the refurbished chair from the new one!
Clowning around isn't the way to pick the difference!
The focus of our stand is not just equipment and our once a year ADX sale, but more importantly, our service and the difference our people make.
For Queensland Dental Services (QDS), people have always been at the heart of the business.
Following substantial growth, QDS and NDE are continuing to invest in the people, systems and technology needed to deliver consistently high levels of service.
The aim is simple: give our people the tools, training and information they need to do what they do best — solve problems and look after customers.
Our second major focus is sustainability.
For QDS and NDE, sustainability means looking at the full lifecycle of dental equipment and considering how servicing, refurbishment and product choices can reduce waste and make better use of resources.
A well-built dental chair can have many years of useful working life remaining, even when a practice decides it is time to upgrade. This thinking is behind initiatives such as the national dental chair buy-back program, which provides an opportunity for existing equipment to be refurbished, reused or responsibly managed rather than unnecessarily becoming waste.
The same approach extends to supporting energy-efficient equipment, environmentally responsible cleaning products and practices that help dental businesses reduce their environmental impact.
Sustainability and good business practice do not need to be competing objectives. Extending the life of quality equipment can be good for the customer, good for the industry and good for the environment.
There will always be new technology, new equipment and further change within the dental industry.
But one thing is unlikely to change.
People make it possible.
It is the knowledge, commitment and customer-first attitude of the people within QDS, NDE and their partner businesses that have brought the group this far, and they will continue to drive what comes next.
