Hubert C. Jasinski, Founder
Founder of Newtech Dental Laboratories, Hubert Jasinski discovered his passion early by taking apart and rebuilding anything mechanical. With encouragement from his mother, a dental technician in England, he pursued the dental lab profession and began his career in 1977 as an in-house technician.
He soon launched his own lab, which grew from a basement operation into Newtech Dental Laboratories, incorporated in 1981. Over the years, Hubert expanded services, embraced new technology, and built a state-of-the-art facility in Lansdale, Pennsylvania.
Today, Newtech employs more than seventy team members and continues to reflect Hubert’s vision of combining craftsmanship, technology, and collaboration to deliver high-quality restorative solutions.
