Paving the Way for Sustainable Packaging and Device Components

Our proprietary BioBase is a bio-based polymer material that enables our facilities to manufacture more sustainable packaging and medical device components without compromising performance or manufacturability.

 How We Drive Product Sustainability 

Frame 4172

New Product Development

 In designing both devices and packaging products, our engineers look to reduce overall carbon footprint and cost by minimizing the number of components and amount of material required.

NEW WHITEPAPER

Decarbonizing Single-Use Medical & Drug Delivery Devices

Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and sold products are becoming a growing regulatory pressure for global pharmaceutical and medical device companies and contract manufactured single-use devices sit squarely in the crosshairs.

In this whitepaper, experts from Sanner show how sustainable design and clean energy manufacturing can help brands meet those demands within the real-world constraints of healthcare.

How we can help you

  • Capacity for small-batch prototypes and scaling to full production. Our facilities are equipped to handle a wide range of production needs:
    • High precision fully electric thermoplastic injection molding capable of handling small shot weights (around 0.1g) up to 64-cavity molds (max. 350T), including 2K molding with thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). 
    • Manual assembly up to fully automated assembly processes, incorporating mechatronic components for enhanced efficiency and precision.
    • End of line packaging for sub-assemblies or finished goods
    • Sterilization through trusted external partners, utilizing validated processes to ensure compliance with industry standards.
  • Our experience in successfully transferring innovations to production across the EU, US, and China speaks to our ability to bring cutting-edge technologies to global markets. All phases of device development can be supported from our Design and Development Centers of Excellence in both the US and EU. 
  • Our design transfer processes enable the smoother path to market. We offer end-to-end thinking from development to manufacturing all under one roof to de-risk your project and for a better time to market.
  • Our reliability and collaborative working attitude support you in any stage of your project.
