The company history of Sandler Group
Since more than 140 years, Sandler stands for excellent products and innovative solutions for a wide range of sectors. It all began in 1879, when Christian Heinrich Sandler founded a cotton wool factory in the city of Hof, Bavaria. In the middle of the 20th century, the production of synthetic nonwovens began. This is how we gradually opened up markets that are still relevant today. By expanding our production capacities, growing our team, and broadening our technology portfolio, we have developed into a global market leader in the field of nonwoven products.
