Following regulatory approval in March 2019,[6] ACME began exporting to the United Kingdom in December 2019.[7] The next year, they entered the United States market by exporting Zolpidem, a generic sleeping tablet.[8][9]

The company set up a plant in the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Industrial Park in Gazaria Upazila of Munshiganj District by March 2023,[10] but was unable to start production for a year because of the lack of a natural gas connection. Titas Gas blamed insufficient gas supply for the delay.[11][12]
