The Aurina Valley, in South Tyrol, is the creative oasis and place of retreat for the much-travelled master dental technician Enrico Steger. To Mr. Steger, South Tyrol is not only a home but the starting point of his career.

In 2003, he then founded the worldwide company Zirkonzahn. Today he runs the company together with his son Julian and travels the whole world as a keynote speaker at congresses. He is known for breaking new ground, loves aesthetics and is a passionate supporter of sound education.
