October 6, 2026 – Sanner Group, a leading global healthcare packaging and medical device CDMO, has appointed Frank Bamberg as new Chief Operating Officer (COO). He joined the company on September 15, 2026.
Frank Bamberg brings more than 20 years of international experience in regulated manufacturing to his new role. He combines broad operational leadership with deep expertise in medical devices and combination products, spanning the full product lifecycle from R&D to commercial manufacturing. Throughout his career, he has focused on building strong, scalable operations and driving manufacturing readiness.
Before joining Sanner, Frank Bamberg served as Head of Primary Packaging and Medical Devices Product Care at CSL Behring. Prior to that, he held senior positions at Hoffmann-La Roche and Schott in Switzerland and the United States. He takes over from Heino Lennartz, who served as interim COO since autumn 2025, and will now return full-time to his role as Chairman of the Sanner Group.
“With his extensive experience in international manufacturing operations across the pharma, biotech, and medtech industries, Frank Bamberg is an excellent fit for Sanner,” says Stefan Verheyden, CEO of the Sanner Group. “He will play an important role in growing our pharmaceutical packaging production while also strengthening manufacturing readiness for our growing medical device CDMO business.”
I am very much looking forward to further developing Sanner’s international production network and ensuring consistently high quality across all locations. I see enormous potential and will be happy to help translate that potential into sustainable growth.”
Sanner was founded in 1894. Headquartered in Germany with best-in-class manufacturing facilities across Germany, France, Hungary, China, and the U.S., 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 devices and diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, and consumer healthcare. Today, Sanner supplies its products to more than 150 countries globally and has more than 850 employees. In November 2021, GHO Capital, Europe’s leading specialist investor in healthcare, acquired a majority stake in Sanner to partner with the fourth generation of the Sanner family to continue to support the growth of the company with a specific focus on transforming Sanner into a global MedTech CDMO.
