Why Glaxo?

Glaxo was the UK name for a dried milk product imported from the
company’s business in dairy-rich New Zealand, where it was known
as Defiance.
The Glaxo product was an outstanding success and eventually, the
trade mark was chosen as the company name.
Marketing success
For its time, the marketing of Glaxo dried milk was pioneering and
included front-page newspaper advertisements and the publication of
the long-running series of ‘The Glaxo Baby Book’ which offered advice
to mothers and about infant health and feeding until the early 1970s.
The famous slogan ‘builds bonnie babies’ was the idea of an
employee making tins for the company.
Why Glaxo?
Towards pharmaceuticals

During the 1920s, Glaxo took its first steps into pharmaceuticals with a vitamin
D preparation called Ostelin Liquid and, importantly, during the Second World
War, the company started to manufacture penicillin.
Legacy of family names
While GSK’s major legacy companies of the past 150 years took their names
from their founding families – Smith, Kline, Beecham, Burroughs, Wellcome,
French, and Allen and Hanburys – Glaxo is the only name to have been
specially created.
GSK was formed on December 27, 2000, by the merger of Glaxo Wellcome
and SmithKline Beecham, a "merger of equals" which brought together two
premier pharmaceutical companies, both of which had extensive pedigrees in
healthcare and were pioneers in many areas of science and medicine.
The path to today's leading research-based pharmaceutical company started
with individual entrepreneurs of the 1800s. Their pioneering efforts laid the
groundwork for growth in the different companies that, over the years, were to
lead to today's GSK
Establishment of GlaxoSmithKline in Bangladesh
The company started its business in Bangladesh in 1947 at Chittagong by
importing from group companies. The Chittagong factory site of GSK
Bangladesh Limited was established in 1967
