ACG Engineering - Designed in Europe, Made in India

ACG Engineering (ACGE) – part of ACG Group, the only supplier in the world offering end-to-end manufacturing solutions for the pharmaceutical industry – has acquired Germany-based pharma processing equipment company, Xertecs GmbH. The deal, which entails ACG acquiring 100% shareholding, comes following a long and successful partnership between the two entities.

The goal is to give customers the best of both continents: sophisticated European design combined with Indian value-centric engineering and manufacturing.

Xertecs develops and implements processes, products and services for pharma companies around the world. Its portfolio includes conceptualization; design engineering; prototype development; automation design and integration into MES systems; development and optimization of components; complete plant design including 3D modeling; process optimization and delivery of new process equipment.

According to Richard Stedman, Group CEO, ACG Engineering: “This is a tremendous boost for our commitment to create next-generation machines that serve our pharmaceutical and nutraceutical customers. The Xertecs team brings best-in-class design and product management skills to ACG Engineering. We are looking forward to developing a wide range of innovative, ground-breaking equipment solutions and best-practice initiatives between the two teams.”

Klaus Groeschel, Managing Director, Sales & Marketing for Xertecs added: “This represents a great opportunity for ACG to meet global design standards throughout its product portfolio.
