Expansion into tubular glass, scaling capacity and capability with Alphial

Reflecting its strategic focus on global growth and operational excellence, SGD Pharma continues its expansion into tubular glass packaging, adding to its already global leadership in molded glass. Following the acquisition of Alphial in Q4 2025, the company now combines molded and tubular glass expertise to offer an unrivalled portfolio of solutions for customer packaging needs across ampoules, vials and RTU formats. The integration of Alphial’s Italian sites strengthens SGD Pharma’s European footprint enabling enhanced delivery speed, capacity and customer responsiveness, particularly for high-value bio-pharmaceutical applications.
