New Partnership to Advance Barrier Membrane Developments
In an exciting development within the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, Colorcon, a leading global expert in film coating systems and controlled release formulations, has formed a strategic partnership with ASHA Cellulose.

The combination of Colorcon's expertise in technical support with ASHA's manufacturing capabilities is expected to generate innovative solutions tailored to the unique specifications of the pharmaceutical market.
Commitment to Quality and Service
Raju Shah, the President of ASHA Cellulose, also emphasized the strengths this partnership brings to the table: "Our steadfast commitment to quality and innovative solutions will be amplified through this collaboration." The state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities of ASHA further ensure adherence to global quality standards, fostering a trusted relationship with clients in the pharmaceutical sector.
