We are very pleased to establish this foundation in line with the vision of good oral health for everyone, which is central to us. For five decades, TePe has worked in collaboration with universities, institutes and dental care professionals around the world. The foundation is a way for us to show our appreciation and create something that will contribute to knowledge and development within the odontological field for many years to come.
— Joel Eklund, Chairman of the Board TePe Munhygienprodukter and Chairman of the Board Eklund Foundation
The idea of recognizing and stimulating odontological research has been present for a long time with the Eklund family, and in 2015, it took practical form. In connection with TePe’s 50th anniversary, Bertil Eklund announced the establishment of Eklund Foundation for Odontological Research and Education, resting on the donation of 5.5m EUR / 50m SEK, thus securing many years of future delivery. The foundation will primarily distribute funds for research and education that encourage knowledge development within the dental field.
The EklundFoundation also distributes the Eklund Foundation Scholarship for the promotion of odontological research at Malmö University every year.
