Whether you have a greenfield capsule-manufacturing project, or are simply thinking of expanding, there is no better partner to consult than ACG.

As the only truly integrated provider to the world’s solid dosage industries, ACG can offer a range of products that nobody else can – from empty hard shell capsules, to capsule filling and packaging equipment, to protective packaging materials, to vision inspection and supply chain traceability solutions.

Associated to offering multiple product and service types, and perhaps even more importantly, is that only ACG has knowledge, experience and expertise of how these products and services impact and effect one another when joined together in a production line.

This allows ACG – and only ACG – to provide holistic and pragmatic guidance on improving productivity and efficiencies, while also reducing downtime.

We’ve been involved in the manufacturing and handling of capsules since 1962, and we’re more than happy to share everything we’ve learned.
