ACG Group expands global footprint with Brazil plant

Pharma manufacturing solutions supplier ACG Group has expanded its global footprint with a new capsules manufacturing plant in Brazil.

The plant, which was opened in Pouso Alegre-Minas Gerais, is the second facility ACG has in the region, following the acquisition of Nova Nordeplast in 2017.

Both plants will offer unique and differentiated solutions with faster response times to customers in the region. ACG Capsules has also pioneered printing on hard capsules that allows the pharmaceutical companies to create brand differentiation in the market and potentially combat the threat of counterfeit or falsified drugs.

Selwyn Noronha, CEO ACG Capsules, said: “ACG Capsules is one of the largest capsule manufacturers in the world, servicing pharmaceutical and nutraceutical customers in more than 100 countries. The company already has a significant presence in LATAM, and following this investment, ACG will further be able to meet the growing requirements of the region.”

“ACG is extremely proud of this new state-of-the-art facility, which demonstrates our long-term commitment to Brazil. As the fifth largest pharmaceutical market in the world, Brazil is a key strategic one for ACG. And the benefit of having local manufacturing will certainly strengthen ties with our customers”, commented Roberson Petrungaro, commercial director – LATAM, ACG Capsules.
