A brief intro about Sanner
Sanner was founded in 1894 as a manufacturer of cork stoppers for the local wine industry. Later, the company specialized in cork stoppers for glass pharmaceutical containers.

Sanner China was founding in 2000 and has become a high-tech supplier for the Asian market with two manufacturing plants in Kunshan.

More about Sanner
Sanner was founded in 1894 as a manufacturer of cork stoppers. Originally used in the local wine industry, the company grew to specialize in making cork stoppers for glass pharmaceutical containers. As they were introduced, Sanner quickly recognized the advantages of plastics and adopted them for the manufacture of closures for the healthcare industry.
In the late 1960’s, the company reached a key milestone with its invention of the first desiccant stopper to protect effervescent tablets and other drugs from the effects of moisture. This innovation marked the start of an unparalleled success story for Sanner, and the company become a world leader in the design and supply of desiccant-based packaging solutions.
Sanner has since grown its portfolio to include further built-in and drop-in desiccant solutions, expanding its global presence with manufacturing facilities in Hungary, China, and with the acquisition of Jaco S.A., now Sanner France.
Sanner leverages its development expertise
Still headquartered in Germany, Sanner leverages its development expertise and best-in-class manufacturing capabilities to lead the market in desiccant closures and effervescent tablet packaging, and a sought-after provider of customized solutions for medical devices, diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, and consumer healthcare.
To provide customers with a suite of leading, end-to-end services across drug delivery, diagnostics and MedTech device sectors, Sanner recently acquired Springboard Pro, a leading device design and development consultancy based in Cambridge, U.K., and the U.S.-based CDMO Gilero, a specialist in medical design, development, manufacturing, assembly and packaging.
Since 2021, Sanner Group has been backed by majority shareholder GHO Capital Partners LLP, a leading specialist healthcare investment advisor. Together, GHO and the fourth generation of the Sanner family will continue its successful growth to create intelligent healthcare solutions for a better quality of life.
