Sanner Group acquires Gilero to expand its global medical device offering

Sanner Group, a global healthcare packaging and medical device CDMO has acquired Gilero LLC, a world class medical device design, development, and contract manufacturer headquartered in Durham, North Carolina.

The addition of Gilero will enhance Sanner’s offering, positioning the business as a provider of end-to-end services across drug delivery, diagnostics and medtech device sectors. As an established medical device and drug delivery system CDMO, Gilero’s capabilities in design and development, assembly, packaging and contract manufacturing will bolster Sanner’s streamlined and integrated offering to its customers. Gilero’s team of expert engineers across facilities in the United States, Mexico and Ireland will also expand Sanner’s reach on both sides of the Atlantic.

Hans-Willem van Vliet, CEO of Sanner Group, commented: “Following the acquisition of Springboard Pro late last year which strengthened our offering across the entire medical device development process, Gilero now expands our manufacturing and end-to-end capabilities in the US. Gilero will also broaden Sanner’s production facilities in the US to offer onsite production capabilities for our desiccant healthcare packaging solutions.”

Ted Mosler, Co-Founder and CEO of Gilero, added: “We now offer in-house injection molding services across the globe, and we are already embarking on opening an injection molding facility in North Carolina to further vertically integrate our operations and better serve our customers. By leveraging Sanner’s longstanding manufacturing expertise and international presence, our customers will benefit from expanded capabilities, including enhanced international manufacturing facilities and global-scale injection molding. »

Sanner is building a next generation medical device CDMO offering that combines agility and smart thinking with a long tradition in the active primary healthcare packaging sector, including the world’s largest portfolio of desiccant packaging and moisture management solutions. The acquisition of Gilero is a pivotal part of Sanner’s strategy to enhance and strengthen its CDMO end-to-end activities on a global scale. Sanner’s new design, develop, manufacture, assemble and delivery capabilities in the US, along with its new facilities in Germany and Asia further reinforces its position as a global CDMO providing full-service activities to its customers in the world’s largest markets.
