ACG, a leading supplier of integrated manufacturing solutions to the global pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, has strengthened its North American leadership team with the appointment of Philippe Azzi as Sales Director for the region, supporting the company's continued expansion and growth ambitions.
In
his new role, Philippe will focus on strengthening customer relationships,
expanding ACG's presence in key markets and building closer partnerships with
pharmaceutical research and development teams. His appointment comes as ACG
advances its strategy to establish a local manufacturing presence in North
America, complementing its existing global operations.

in the pharmaceutical industry. He joins from SGD Pharma, where he served as

he spent more than 15 years with Capsugel. His international experience spans
Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.
As
part of his remit, Philippe will work to extend ACG's reach beyond its
established customer base in the northeastern and midwestern United States,
identifying opportunities for growth across western US markets, Canada and
Puerto Rico.

some time and have been particularly impressed by its vision and
customer-focused approach. This is an exciting time to join the business as we
strengthen our presence in North America.
