ACG Worldwide is the pioneer of pharmaceutical barrier films for blister packaging and renowned for its barrier packaging solutions in the global pharmaceutical and dietary supplement industries. The company's innovative product range includes non-halogenated blister films, films with high MVTR and OTR barriers, as well as suppository films. To support the growing need for barrier films worldwide, ACG recently launched a new 200,000 square foot manufacturing facility, ACG Pharmapack, 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 new facility triples ACG Pharmapack's films output while maintaining the high quality associated with ACG products. 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.

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."

He added, "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."
