ACG Worldwide Expands Barrier Film Manufacturing Capacity

To support the growing need for barrier films worldwide, ACG recently launched a new 200,000 square foot manufacturing facility. The facility in Shirwal, Pune (India) triples ACG Pharmapack's films output while maintaining high quality. The facility is ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 1400:2004 certified, conforms to cGMP norms and is on par with class 100000 guidelines. In addition, ACG Pharmapak has a DMF registration with the US FDA, meets EC norms, has an EMS certification, and is registered with SFDA-China and the Canadian Health Department.
 
ACG Pharmapack is dedicated to a full range of films from mono PVC and Aclar and other laminates, to PVdC suppository films, Barex, calendarable PETG and more, the company said.
 

Michael Franklin, CEO of ACG Pharmapack said, "We are using the latest technology in this plant, keeping in mind the requirements of our domestic and overseas customers. We are planning 300 percent expansion in the next three years. Currently the production capacity of this plant is more than 18000 tons - or 40 million pounds -- per year."
 
"Some of the technologies that we are using here are complex laminations to provide specific barrier properties. We are also using new calendar books like PETG and BAREX," Franklin added.
 
ACG Worldwide (formerly known as the Associated Capsule Group) has served the global pharmaceutical, OTC and dietary supplement markets for more than 40 years. The company's innovative product range includes non-halogenated blister films, films with high MVTR and OTR barriers, as well as suppository films.
