German term or phrase: ADM
This abbreviation appears in the following sentence:

"Wie ist heute die Einstellung zu diesem Produkt bei Euch und den ADM`s"

Any idea what "ADM might stand for? Or is it perhaps an "in-house" abbreviation?

Explanation:
or sales representatives

I think Volkmar's guess is not *that* wild in this context given the likelihood that the co. employs a whole bunch of these people to sell their products to dental practices or the like.

Danke für die Steilvorlage, Volkmar!

Since the letter might be addressed to both internal (service) staff and those who travel \"the great outdoors\".

I think you're both right. It would make sense in the context. I gave the points to Steffen because he actually gave a translation and a bit of an explanation, but thanks very much to Volkmar also for giving the full German word.
