 PROFILE
How many mergers does it take to make a druggernaut? Just ask GlaxoSmithKline, formed in the merger of Glaxo Wellcome and SmithKline Beecham (both formed in earlier mergers). The predecessors -- which were the UK's top drug concerns -- bring complementary attributes to the combination, now one of the world's top five pharma firms. Glaxo Wellcome was known for its respiratory drugs and its strength in the North American market; on the other hand, patent expirations made it eager to acquire SmithKline Beecham, whose roster focused on over-the-counter products, prescription drugs, and consumer goods. GlaxoSmithKline has acquired Block Drug, a manufacturer of oral health care and consumer products.
