It all started with desiccant closures
In the late 1960’s, the company reached a key milestone with its invention of the first desiccant closure to protect effervescent tablets and other drugs from the effects of moisture. This innovation marked the start of an unparalleled success story for Sanner, and the company become a world leader in the design and supply of desiccant-based packaging solutions. Until today our premium product DASG is permanent in use worldwide.
Moisture management & sustainability
2014 saw the innovation of AdCap® desiccant capsule, which combines the advantages of conventional capsules and containers in a single product. The AdCap® desiccant capsule technology features silica gel in combination with either activated carbon or a molecular sieve to ensure that moisture and odors are adsorbed optimally, beginning immediately after filling.
In 2020, reflecting its ongoing work to protect the environment, the company launched the Sanner BioBase® portfolio , the first bio-based effervescent tablet packaging solution to be made from renewable raw materials.
