ACG has announced a USD 200 million phased investment to establish its first empty-capsule manufacturing operations in the United States.

The initial USD 100 million will be used to build a state-of-the-art hard-shell capsule facility in Atlanta, Georgia, with a second phase of USD 100 million planned to expand capacity and capabilities in the region. The project is expected to create over 200 jobs, with operations scheduled to begin in early 2027.

Karan Singh, Managing Director, ACG, said, "ACG has served North America for over 25 years. This facility strengthens our ties with customers across the region—bringing us closer to them, enabling faster lead times, higher-quality service, and a more resilient, de-risked supply chain. Just as importantly, it lets us respond more quickly and co-develop new innovations through tighter R&D partnerships.”  

The new Atlanta facility will produce both gelatin and vegetarian (HPMC) hard-shell capsules, with dedicated facilities designed and operated to meet the highest global standards of quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.

According to ACG, the project aligns with its Make it Better commitment and complements its existing US ecosystem, which spans capsules, barrier packaging materials, processing and encapsulation machinery, visual inspection, and traceability solutions—all supported by a nationwide sales and service network.

Selwyn Noronha, CEO, ACG Capsules, stated, "Atlanta is the right location to execute at scale. Georgia and the City of Atlanta offer a pro-business environment, a strong talent pipeline, world-class connectivity, and reliable infrastructure. Combined with ACG's recent facility builds in Aurangabad (HPMC), Thailand (gelatin), and expansions in Brazil, Croatia and India, we have the operating discipline to begin production quickly and deliver reliable supply for North American customers."

ACG has maintained a strong presence in the United States for more than 25 years, with its North American headquarters in Piscataway, New Jersey, liquid-fill capsule manufacturing in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, multiple warehouses across the country, and dedicated sales and service teams nationwide.
