Honneywell, an industry leader in producing advanced speciality films for pharmaceutical packaging, has celebrated the tenth anniversary of the company’s partnership with ACG-Pharmapack for converting Honeywell Aclar film into high value pharmaceutical packaging.

Under the partnership, Honeywell provides Aclar films to ACG and ACG laminates those films with other plastics, including PVC and PETG, to create thermoformable pharmaceutical packaging such as blister packaging for pharmaceutical companies.

“Honeywell’s technological expertise and innovation in barrier films, combined with ACG’s large customer base in India, have allowed us to serve a wide variety of customers with thermoformable packaging films,” said David Barker, global marketing manager, Honeywell’s Healthcare and Packaging business. “We value our relationship with ACG worldwide and are pleased to announce this significant milestone,” he added further.

The Honeywell-ACG partnership has contributed to the growth of ACG, and it has allowed us to introduce several new and innovative products for our customers,” said Michael Franklin, CEO, ACG-Pharmapack. “We look forward to launching even more new products with Honeywell, and leveraging the combined strength of our two companies to market the Aclar range of films.”

Honeywell made the announcement at the CPhI India, being held in Mumbai from November 30 to December 2, the largest and most comprehensive pharmaceutical industry event in South Asia.

Honeywell Aclar film is a moisture barrier thermoformable film that has been used to pack some of the world’s most successful oral solid dosage pharmaceuticals in both their innovator and generic forms.

Honeywell recently introduced its newest Aclar product, Aclar UltRrx 6000, which provides the highest moisture barrier of any film of its type. Aclar UltRrx 6000 is effective at protecting moisture sensitive medicines in all climates, even the hottest and most humid locations. This allows pharmaceutical companies to standardize their products packaging with one solution that will work in all regions of the world.

ACG offers a complete range of solid dosage equipment and consumables, including fluid bed processors, capsule fillers, tablet presses, blister packing, etc.
