Relocation in Bensheim planned for 2025″We expect demand for our products to remain very high,” says van Vliet. “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 meters. “Until then, we will of course continue to provide our customers with the quality and delivery reliability they are accustomed to –exactly as a partnership-based cooperation should be in times of crisis,” says van Vliet.
Cooperation in partnership pays offPenny Humphries, Operations Manager at Aviz LaboratoriesinSouth Africa, confirms that the company is doing this excellently worldwide. “We have had a very successful relationship with Sanner for a number of years now, with constant supply and excellent quality. During Covid-19,the fantastic service from Sanner became even more apparent. We had a massive increase in demand. One phone call to Sanner was sufficientand within 24 hours we received a solid commitment on delivery despite their already overloaded production. There has never been a time where Sanner haslet us down and they always work incredibly hard to find solutions for us.”Image and Caption
