The Anti-Counterfeiting Group (ACG) is a not for profit trade association, recognised as a leading authority on the worldwide trade in fakes. ACG was founded in the UK in 1980 with just 18 members in the automotive industry, who discovered that they all had a common problem with counterfeit parts. We now represent nearly 200 organisations globally, operating in, or providing specialist advice to, most industry sectors where counterfeiting is an issue.The ACG’s website, with a wealth of useful resources, can be found at the following link:
