Sanner increases overall production

Sanner’s response to pandemic has thus far been successful. In fact, the demand for solutions from the international manufacturer of pharmaceutical primary packaging and medical technology products has even increased by more than 10 per cent.

Packaging solutions for effervescent tablets are particularly in demand. The demand for effervescent vitamin C tablets and other supplements is increasing. As the market leader for effervescent tablet packaging, Sanner recognized the challenges early and acted quickly.

Dr Johannis Willem van Vliet, Managing Director, said: "We already expanded our capacities in May and were able to meet the increased demand and maintain our delivery capability."

In addition to an enormous sales increase of around 30 per cent in the classic DASG 1 desiccant closure, Sanner also recorded a rising demand for tubes manufactured in the IML process and drop-in desiccant solutions such as AdCap and AdPack.

At the German site in Bensheim, three new machines for the production of desiccant closures were put into operation and additional staff were hired.

Van Vliet added: "We expect demand for our products to remain very high. In order to further expand our capacities and, above all, to produce with the latest digital and sustainable technologies, we are currently planning to move the Bensheim plant to the new Stubenwald II industrial park".

In 2025, Sanner plans to fully commission the new site, which will cover an area of approximately 30,000 square metres.
