The goal of the European Union (EU) to recycle all plastic packaging in Europe in an economically viable manner by 2030 is exerting enormous pressure on the packaging industry. It is very common that packaging films are made of different materials, and this causes challenges since they are often not easy to recycle.

For these stand-up pouches, counter-printed stiff PE carrier films were laminated with sealing films with low temperature sealants

A Perfect Concept All Round

Modern plastic packaging keeps food fresh and preserves its flavor for longer, so it reduces the amount of valuable produce that is wasted. At the same time, politicians are calling for more environmentally friendly packaging. Kuraray provides key barrier materials for this, including biodegradable polymers that are impermeable to gas.

Laminated with biodegradable film or paper, barrier polymer layers are suitable for use in packaging for dry goods such as coffee, snacks, sweets and animal feedstuffs

Sanner, a manufacturer of high-quality packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical industry and previously family-owned, finds an investor in GHO, which will support the medium-sized company in international markets.

Headquartered in Germany and leveraging its best-in-class manufacturing facilities across France, Hungary and China, Sanner has successively developed from a global market leader for desiccant closures and effervescent tablet packaging into a sought-after provider of customized solutions in the areas of Medical & Diagnostics, Consumer Healthcare and Pharma. Today, Sanner produces more than four billion component parts each year and has over 600 employees.

Sanner has recorded significant sales growth in recent years, with sales in 2020 increasing by more than 15 percent from 2019. The business is set to continue to deliver significant growth, benefitting from an attractive product portfolio and long-standing relationships with its diversified customer base.

Now Global Healthcare Opportunities or GHO Capital Partners LLP, the European specialist investor in the healthcare sector, is taking over the medium-sized company. Following the acquisition, GHO will work closely with existing management and the Sanner family, who remain closely involved with the business. GHO will support Sanner in accelerating growth plans through the expansion of manufacturing sites in Germany and China, and developing capabilities to facilitate expansion in US markets.

Leveraging Sanner’s extensive R&D and manufacturing capabilities, GHO will support management to accelerate product expansion initiatives, sales and investment in business development to deliver margin improvements and increase capacity to drive growth.

Sanner is committed to sustainability and has ambitious targets to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions while using materials more efficiently. The business has successfully reduced CO2 emissions by more than 40 % at its Bensheim site, measured in terms of production volume since 2012. The business also plans to expand its use of bio-based plastics across its product portfolio, which contribute to climate protection by reducing CO2 emissions.
