ACG to Launch German Process Laboratory
After establishing its first-to-market laboratory for process development in India, ACG, an integrated solutions provider for pharmaceutical companies, now plans to launch a sister process lab in Germany in 2023.
This new laboratory will be located at ACG’s Xertecs site in Mulheim, with the first phase occupying approximately 250 m2.
The new facility, ACG said, will provide customers and partners access to the latest knowledge, skills and equipment to collaboratively advance all aspects of process development. Customers will have the possibility to test solid dosage optimization limits, for example, and co-create alongside ACG’s team of experts to develop new process solutions.
The range of available equipment covers areas including feasibility studies, R&D, pilot-scaling, and tailored in-house technical training courses. Customers are also to be given the possibility to experience and test products from ACG’s portfolio and gain operational and maintenance training on premise.
Marcus Michel, CEO of ACG Engineering, said: “ACG’s process labs reinforce our commitment to ‘making it better’. Requested by the Indian market, our first lab has enabled customers to build their competencies and capabilities, as well as to scale up – with many of these customers now operating at high capacity and efficiency. Our plan is simply to replicate this model in the European market, and we are working at full speed to ensure the launch of our new facility in 2023.”
