History

ACG was founded in 1961 by Ajit Singh and Jasjit Singh to manufacture empty hard capsules for Indian pharmaceutical companies. Subsequently, the company expanded to other geographies and diversified into related businesses to support the pharmaceutical sector.[3] These include equipment manufacturing, packaging, inspection and testing.[4]

ACG is the first Indian company from the pharmaceutical sector to establish a presence in Croatia.[5] After successfully turning around a sick capsule plant that ACG took over, ACG is planning an expansion at the facility with an investment of about 50 million Euros.

The founder, Ajit Singh, a winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Indian Education Society,[6] has served on the Board of Pharmaceutical Sciences of the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) as an Expert Member. He was also nominated to the International Board of the Controlled Release Society, USA.
