Sanacorp reshuffles leadership as digital expansion accelerates globally

Sanacorp has announced a leadership change as Frank Hennings retires after 13 years on the executive board. His role as Board Member for Trade will pass to Manuel Kuhn, effective 1 July. The transition comes as the company strengthens its digital focus and expands into new markets.

Frank Hennings, who joined Sanacorp in 2011, will step down at the age of 60 following his own request. CEO Patrick Neuss thanked him for his long-standing contributions and wished him well in retirement. Hennings' departure marks the end of a tenure that saw him oversee trade operations and support the company's growth.

Manuel Kuhn, currently Director of Supplier & Customer Solutions, will take over the trade division. A Sanacorp employee since 2010, Kuhn has been instrumental in driving digital innovation and strategic partnerships. His new responsibilities will include sales, procurement, product management, and the Mea partnership—a key initiative that has accelerated the company's digital transformation. The Mea collaboration has enabled Sanacorp to roll out advanced pharmacy management systems and e-commerce platforms. It has also helped the business expand into the Middle East and North Africa, diversifying revenue beyond its core European markets. Alongside Kuhn, the executive board includes Antje Saalfeld (Pharmacies & Quality Assurance) and Frank Sczesny (Technology & Operations). Neuss expressed confidence in Kuhn's ability to lead, highlighting his track record in delivering customer-focused, forward-looking solutions. Kuhn himself has emphasised a commitment to supporting clients with practical, market-driven innovations.

The leadership change takes effect on 1 July, with Kuhn assuming control of trade operations. His appointment aligns with Sanacorp's push for digital growth and regional expansion. The company expects a smooth transition as it continues to develop its technology and market reach.
