Despite being a well-established company, Sandler AG has been enabling growth through their ability to constantly adapt since they were founded in 1879.

Having put a strong emphasis on a resilient IT foundation that is built on the principle of allowing agility, their line was the first of its kind to come on stream to establish German supply chains for medical protective masks.
