Bavarian Order of Merit for Sandler

CEO of Sandler AG Dr Christian Heinrich Sandler has been awarded the Bavarian Order of Merit by Bavarian State Premier Horst Seehofer, at a special ceremony in Munich.

The order is an appreciation of exceptional commitment to the common welfare in the state.

In the Chamber of Industry and Commerce for Upper Franconia in Bayreuth he is a member of the plenary assembly and member of the advisory committee to the council for industry and commerce in the city of Hof.

On a federal level, Dr Sandler has held the position of vice president and treasurer of the Confederation of the German Textile and Fashion Industry since 1994.
