ACG offers a diverse range of products including capsules, films, foils, engineering equipment, and inspection systems for the global pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.

With collaboration at the core of its ethos, ACG is the world’s only integrated pharma manufacturing solutions company.

Following the successful acquisition of Technical Aluminium Foil Company, ACG plans to further solidify its growth trajectory across the Middle Eastern and African markets.

TAFC’s expertise in lacquering, lamination, printing, and slitting further enhances ACG’s capabilities in meeting the diverse packaging needs of its clients.

This acquisition will help ACG to realize the primary objective of finding innovative solutions to the world’s greatest health challenges through collaborative endeavors.
