GlaxoSmithKline (UK/US)

GlaxoSmithKline is one of Europe's biggest pharmaceutical companies. However, like other manufacturers, it is wrestling with the triple threats of generic competition, ever more rigorous regulatory scrutiny, and the challenge of keeping its drug development pipeline filled. GSK's problems have, arguably, been more serious than some of its rivals, resulting in its demotion from the coveted position as global #2 several years ago. It now lags behind even its Swiss rivals by overall revenues. Could another large acquisition be on the cards? In addition to its pharmaceutical brands, the company has an extensive presence in OTC medicines and personal care products, as well as nutritional and energy drinks. In fact, perhaps surprisingly, GSK is not only one of the world's biggest drug companies, but also the UK's #3 soft drinks marketer behind Coca-Cola and Britvic.
