ACG Worldwide, one of the largest capsule manufacturers in the world recently launched ACG North America LLC, its North American subsidiary. ACG North America was established to meet the company’s growing business in North America and its intention to introduce a broader range of products.

“ACG is not new to the North American market,” said S. Brad Larson, Vice President, ACG North America. “For the past decade, ACG has marketed its capsules under the Universal Capsules brand and its capsule filling, packaging and cartoning machines under the PAM USA brand. We are introducing a modern, upgraded range of products for pharmaceutical, OTC and dietary supplement companies. Marketing them under the ACG brand emphasizes the synergy in our product offerings.” He noted that the company currently sells to hundreds of North American customers and has built a reputation for consistent quality and technical excellence at cost effective pricing. All products will now be invoiced by ACG North America.
In addition to capsules and capsule fillers, ACG North America manufactures tablet presses, tablet tooling, blister packing and cartoning machines, and blister packing films. “ACG Worldwide has a strong international presence with the full range of its products,” explained Larson. “We believe that our North American customers will appreciate the convenience of purchasing from a company that supports every stage of the value chain.”
