COMPANY BACKGROUND

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is a place where ideas come to life. As one of the world’s leading research-based pharmaceutical companies, GSK is dedicated to delivering products and medicines that help millions of people around the world do more, feel better and live longer.

Based in the UK, but with operations in the US and 117 other countries worldwide, GSK make almost 4 billion packs of medicine and healthcare products every year, with sales of £23.2 billion in 2006. And much of this is thanks to an extensive product range that includes everything from prescription medicines to popular consumer healthcare products.

So while some people depend on GSK's pioneering pharmaceutical products to tackle life-threatening illnesses, others choose best-selling nutritional brands such as Lucozade and Ribena for a feel-good boost. GSK even manages to brighten smiles with some of the world's favourite toothpaste brands.
