Sanner completes €1m Hungary facility investment

8 May 2012


Pharmaceutical plastic packaging and components producer Sanner has completed the expansion of its contract manufacturing plant in Budapest, Hungary.

The investment, in excess of €1 million, included improvements to the site’s IT infrastructure and modernisation of its production systems, with the main objective of increasing the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing facility and optimising cooperation with the parent company in Germany.

The company says the project will ensure smoother production operations, thanks to the integration of a Guardus MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and a SAP business management solution to improve control and monitoring of production, service and maintenance, and quality management.

“Our production operations in Hungary are assembly-focused,” says Sanner CEO Holger Frank. “This is something that clearly distinguishes us from our competitors.

The 100 employees at the company’s Budapest plant produce primarily desiccant closures and tubes for tablets and capsules. Sanner manufactures closures with bellow spacers exclusively at the Hungarian plant, with a wide range of injection and blow moulding systems.

“We follow the ‘Made in Germany principle’ at all of our manufacturing facilities – this requires us to continuously invest in our plant sites,” says Frank.

Since Sanner centralised sales in 2010 “to improve customer service in Europe”, its European sales operations have been concentrated in Bensheim, Germany.
