ACG has expanded its European footprint with an upgrade to its Croatian facility.
The extension of its existing site enhances its capsule shell manufacturing capacity, while also offering novel warehouse and slitting facilities.
This will allow ACG to cater to the increasing demand amongst the pharmaceutical industry for capsule solutions, while also strengthening its European presence.
It will also allow the company to streamline the region's supply chain.
Since ACG acquired the capsule manufacturing site in Croatia, the compaby has invested more than €50m into the infrastructure and technology of the facility, while also focusing on process optimisation.
This recent expansion — according to the company — will be completed by the end of 2024.
CEO of ACG Capsules, Selwyn Noronha, commented: "The expansion of our Croatian facility marks a pivotal moment in our European strategy. By boosting production and logistics capabilities, we are not only improving lead times but also contributing to the local economy by creating new job opportunities."
"This facility meets the highest global manufacturing standards, and we are replicating our sustainability initiatives here, ensuring our operations benefit both the environment and the communities we serve."
SR Shivshankar, CEO at ACG Packaging Materials, added: "The opening of our new warehouse in Croatia is a crucial step in increasing our agility and better serving our European customers. With shorter lead times and enhanced flexibility, this warehouse will allow us to respond to market demands faster and more efficiently. We are excited for the facility to be fully operational by November 2024."
ACG will showcase its offerings at CPHI Worldwide in Milan from October 8 to 10, at stand 6B20. Attendees are invited to join the team for an open meeting on October 9th, from 10:00 to 12:00, where refreshments will be served.
