Strong Dental Products, our parent company was established in 1985. Our founder, Vonda Manley, a former dental hygienist, invented and patented several dental products. One of these products known as Edge-Ease Xray Comfort Cushions, is now the leading dental X-ray comfort cushion in the industry. Over 45 million Edge-Ease have been sold which has protected millions of patients from tissue abrasion and trauma due to dental X-rays.
In 1997, our subsidiary company Strong Products was founded. Keeping with our desire for protecting tissue, we expanded our product line to include effective products for safe sunless-tanning and sunscreens for skin protection. There will be one million cases of skin cancer diagnosed this year, and our goal was to create a product line that will be fun and innovative so as to encourage everyone to protect their skin. The line has grown to include shower gels, moisturizers, body polishing cloths and fun personal care products for children.
Our unique formulations and patented products have generated a lot of interest from beauty experts in a variety of media. We have been featured in McCalls, Seventeen, Muscle and Fitness, Jane, Latin Girl and most recently in Glamour magazines. We have also been represented on a ten city television tour, including: KGO-TV Channel 7 News San Francisco, WXIA (NBC) Noonday Atlanta, WMAC Channel 5 News Chicago, WTVT Good Day Tampa Bay, WJBK Noon News Detroit, ABC Good Morning Connecticut Hartford/New Haven, KSDK Show Me St. Louis, ABC Cleveland News, KDFW Good Day Dallas and on the Today Show with Glamour Beauty Editor Charla Krupp and Katie Couric.
