LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

HISTORY

 

The company was incorporated on 24.01.1924 at Mumbai in Maharashtra having Company Registration Number 1151.

 

Incorporated in 1924 as H J Foster and Company, an agency house to distribute the well-known Glaxo baby food, Glaxo India became a wholly owned subsidiary of Joseph Nathan and Company, UK. In 1947, the company was renamed as Glaxo Laboratories (India).  

 
In December, 2000, Glaxo Wellcome plc and SmithKline plc have merged under an agreement. They formed a new company named GlaxoSmithKline plc. The new company is well placed to respond to the healthcare challenges of the twenty first century with market leadership in major therapeutic categories. With this merger, Glaxo India is now an affiliate of GlaxoSmithKline plc, which holds 51% of the equity.  

  
It has adopted the acquisition route, amongst others, to grow. It acquired two groups. The Burroughs Wellcome India Limited (BWIL) merger came about after the parent was merged with Glaxo Plc. Subsequently, it acquired the Biddle Sawyer Group, the approval for which was received. 

 
MAX GB Limited, a 50:50 joint venture between Max India and Gist Brocades of Netherlands, and Glaxo India Limited, have entered into an alliance for manufacturing cephalexin from the drug intermediate, 7 ADCA.  

 
In October 2001, SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceutical (India) Limited was merged with Glaxo India Limited to become GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Limited.

 
In March 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Scheme of Arrangement for the Demerger of the marketing undertaking of Meghdoot Chemicals Limited (wholly owned subsidiary) into the company and the simultaneous amalgamation of Croydon Chemical Works Limited (wholly owned subsidiary) with the Company. Subsequent to this the High Court has sanctioned the merger in November 2002 and therefore MCL and CCWL cease to be subsidiaries of the company. During 2002 the company has launched Timentims (an injectible antibiotic), Flutibact (combination of Fluticasone and Mupirocin) and COD (daily-Ciprofloxacin dosage). 

BUSINESS

 

The company is engaged in manufacturing and selling of pharmaceuticals, chemicals including bulk drugs and formulations.

 

The company has a wide range of product that covers around 14 therapeutic groups. However, the benefits of the wide coverage are offset by about 70% of the company’s products falling under the drug price control order (DPCO), Shackling realizations.

 

Subject has a strong product line with quite a few brands in the country's top 250 brands. Among its principal products are Betamethasone- based topical steroids, Betnovate-C, Betnovate-M, and Betnovate- GM. It also makes tablets from the same pharmaceutical ingredient, which is marketed under the brand name Betnesol. Its other key products are Cephalosporin, Ceftum, H2 blocker based on Ranitidine, Zinetac and the vitamin Celin.

 

Glaxo manufactures the bulk drug from the basic stage, furfuryl alcohol, employing the technology developed by its parent, Glaxo Welcome, UK. According to the company, the formulation manufactured from the bulk drug, Zinetac tablets.  

 
The company has launched Celex, a clarithromycin anti-infective formulation under licence from and manufactured by Abbott India, Ventoride for asthma (combination of salbutamol and beclamethasone) and fluticasone cream, and a corticosteroid. 

 

PARENT COMPANY

 

Glaxo Wellcome, UK, was formed in March 1995, by Glaxo’s global takeover of the US$ 3.5 billion Wellcome Plc, UK, consolidating its world leadership position. The merged entity is an integrated research based group, with global sales of more than 7.94 billion pounds and net profit of 2.6 billion pounds. R&D expenditure was 2 billion pounds. Headquartered in Britain, it has operations in 70 countries, employing over 45,000 people of which 7,000 are in R&D. There are currently some 60 major research projects and 100 development projects underway. Globally, Glaxo-Wellcome is concentrating on therapeutic segments such as respiratory system, anti-infectives, AIDS, cardiac care, CNS, oncology and anti-viral/ anti-biotics.

 

Major products are: Anti-ulcerant Zantac (Ranitidine), Anti-herpes Zovirax (Acyclovir), Anti-infective Fortum (Ceftazidime). In the current fiscal, Glaxo will have 5 new launches namely Ziagen and Agenerase (for AIDS), Lamivudine (Hepatitis B), Seretide (anti-asthmatic) and Relenza for influenza.

 

The merger of Smithkline Beecham Pharmaceuticals India Limited with Glaxo India Limited has been approved and consequently the Company's name stands changed to Glaxo Smithkline Pharmaceuticals Limited. The approval is effective January 1, 2001.

 

The company has expanded the installed capacity of tablets and capsules during the year 2003 by 1140 million (nos.) and with this expansion the total capacity has been increased to 9118 million (Nos).

 

RESULTS & DIVIDEND

 

The Company divested the Agrivet Farm Care (AFC) Business as a going concern to Virbac Animal Health India Private Limited, a 100% subsidiary of Virbac S.A. France, on 31st July 2006 for a consideration of Rs. 2071 Millions. As provided under the Companies Act, 1956, approval of the Shareholders was obtained by postal ballot. The financial results for the year under review are therefore not comparable.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 

 
The Company commands a 6.4% market share in the Indian Pharmaceuticals Market (Source: Stockist Audit [ORG IMS] IIPA MAT December 2006 - this audit is representative of the Company's customer base covering stockists, sale to hospitals and vaccines purchases). The Company enjoys a leadership position in the Hospital segment (Source: [ORG IMS] Hospital Audit MAT December 2006) and in segments in which its products are represented. The Company had another satisfactory year, with Net Sales of the Company's continuing businesses (excluding the AFC Business) registering a growth of 9.3%. Pharmaceuticals sales also grew by 9.2% during the year. The Qualigens Fine Chemicals business recorded a sales growth of 8.7% and Export sales grew by 10.4%. 

 
Profit Before Tax and Exceptional Items of the Company's continuing businesses (excluding the AFC Business) grew by 20.600. A double-digit growth in the priority products range, procurement and manufacturing efficiencies and tight expense control helped improve profits. Higher income from treasury operations and clinical research operations also contributed to the profit improvement. 

 
Cash generation from operations continued to be favourable during the year, driven by the strong business performance. Cash surpluses were deployed in safe instruments. 

 
THE PHARMACEUTICALS BUSINESS: 

 
The Indian Pharmaceuticals Market grew by 13% (Source: Stockist Audit [ORG IMS] IIPA MAT December 2006). 
 
Net sales of the Pharmaceuticals business segment was Rs.13730 Millions constituting 92% of the Company's total sales (excluding the AFC business). 

 
The Pharmaceuticals growth of 9.2% was a result of the continued strategy focussed on Priority Products and their active promotion, and the shift from the acute to the chronic disease segments. New products were once again the major driver of growth in Pharmaceuticals. Sales of Augmentin have crossed Rs.1000 Millions this year. The Company enjoys a leadership position in the segments in which its products are represented including Dermatologicals, Corticosteroids, Anti-infectives, Pain/Analgesics and Thyroid preparations. Calpol is the leader in the non-narcotic anti-pyretic segment and Neosporin is the leader in topical antibiotic preparations.

Augmentin and Phexin continue to be amongst the top five brands in the anti-infective segment. Vozet and Cetzine are leaders in the anti-histamine segment. The Vaccines business has registered a negative growth mainly on account of the competitive pricing environment coupled with stock outs of key products. To some extent, sales were impacted since the accelerated demand for certain products in the anti-infective and pain segments could not be met due to capacity constraints and due to discontinuation of select products during the year. The Company has taken steps for improvement of supply of key products and aggressive measures are being initiated to counter the competition. 

Windia and Windamet for treatment of Diabetes, one of the fastest growing therapeutic areas and the in-licensed products, Parit and Ferronine, launched last year are all progressing well. 

Business Development continues to be the major driver of growth for the Company since 2002. Products launched since 2002 have contributed to around 25% of the Company's incremental sales in 2006. The key strategy for Business Development is to identify partners and introduce products in high growth therapeutic areas. The Company is in talks with some leading Japanese and American companies for new products in therapeutic areas like serious infections, cardiovascular and trauma care. After making a major entry in diabetes with the introduction of Windia and Windamet, the Company is also developing four new products in the Windia family. Plans are in hand to introduce new products in therapeutic areas like anti-inflammatory/analgesic, oral antibiotics, cardiovascular and anti-coagulants in 2007.

THE QUALIGENS FINE CHEMICALS (AFC) BUSINESS: 

The QFC business has maintained its market leadership position with an overall sales growth of 8.7% this year. The Chemicals activity continued to grow in double digits. Several new products were launched during the year.

The glassware segment showed good growth with large orders from industries and institutions. For the Diagnostics activity, plans are in hand for introduction of new ranges and advance technology kits. 

EXPORTS: 
 
Exports recorded a sales turnover of Rs.300 Millions, comprising both Bulk Drugs and Formulations. Exports of bulk drugs were to major markets like Japan, Mexico, France, Germany, Holland, UK, South Africa and Denmark.

Formulations were exported to Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Vietnam

PHARMACEUTICALS PRICING: 

The National Pharmaceuticals Pricing Authority (NPPA) effected a downward revision in the prices of several vitamin formulations during the year. 

As reported last year, the Government has moved the Supreme Court in respect of the judgement of the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi which had set aside the DPEA demand relating to the bulk drug Betarnethasone. The matter continues to remain pending before the Supreme Court. 

MANUFACTURING: 
 
 A new state of the art Liquid Injectibles facility of international standard has been commissioned at Nashik. The bulk drug plant, quality assurance and process development laboratories and the water management system at the Thane plant have all been upgraded to global standards.

Quality Management Systems at the factories have been strengthened further.

The Thane Plant was inspected by MHRA, the U.K. regulatory body, and the Company expects to receive the MHRA approval shortly. The Company continued its focus on process capability and understanding using six sigma tools resulting in improved yields, productivity and higher capacity utilisation at the sites.

PRESS RELEASE

 

GlaxoSmithKline pharmaceuticals divests fine chemicals


26 July 2007


Mumbai: The board of directors of GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Limited today approved the divestment of the company's Qualigens Fine Chemicals (QFC) business to Thermo Electron LLS India Private Limited, a subsidiary of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a leading American company for Rs. 2400 Millions.

 

QFC, a division of GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals manufactures and markets a range of fine chemicals, diagnostic kits and laboratory products, including glassware, culture media, instruments and filter papers. QFC is the market leader in India for laboratory chemicals with an extensive distribution network covering the entire country. Over the last four decades, it has built its brands on the planks of consistency, availability and service.

 

Thermo Fisher Scientific, with revenues of $9 billion is the leading provider of analytical instruments, laboratory equipment, reagents and consumables, software and services for research, analysis, discovery and diagnostics. It operates in 38 countries and employs over 30,000 people. As part of its continued focus on establishing a greater presence in the Asian region, Thermo Fisher Scientific is looking to establish a strong foundation in India for making available its extensive range of products to the fast growing Indian market.

 

Dr. Hasit Joshipura, managing director, GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Limited, said, "Under the GSK umbrella, QFC has had an excellent track record which has enabled the Business to develop into a market leader in its area, with great contributions from its excellent and skilled workforce. For further growth, infusion of new technology and products are necessary. The Business has great potential and significant value would be unlocked through its appropriate placement within a global leader in laboratory chemicals and allied products."

Employees will be benefited by the expertise that Thermo Fisher Scientific brings with it, in addition to providing a much broader canvas for leveraging their skills and capabilities and provide future growth options."

 

GSK identifies Asia, Eastern Europe as major centers for clinical research


Monday, September 25, 2006 08:00 IST

Joe C. Mathew, recently in London

 

GSK has identified emerging markets in Asia and Eastern Europe as potential destinations for clinical research collaborations. GSK is already active in India with two groups in Mumbai and Bangalore focusing on drug discovery programmes, Duncan B. Judd, Head, Chemistry Services Outsourcing, GSK Research and Development Limited informed pharmabiz.


"GSK has found lot of potential in these emerging markets. They have wealth of options and hence focusing on collaborations that have maximum value", he said.


According to him, GSK has an appetite for building blocks and screening compounds among others. He refused to give more details about collaborative arrangements as it is handled by GSK's US arm.


It should be noted that GSK India had declared its intentions to play a more significant role in GSK's worldwide drug discovery programmes. As pointed out by India Brand Equity Foundation, 'GSK plc is highly aware of India's process chemistry skills, product development capability and manufacturing strengths. In addition, the rich biodiversity and the doctor base available in India make it a promising clinical trials destination for GSK innovations. India is likely to be one of the major trial centres for GSK plc'.


GSK already has research alliances in the filed of preventive medicines. It has signed up a drug discovery alliance with Ranbaxy. GSK had announced last year that its clinical trial data management, analyses and reporting activities based in Bangalore are being expanded for catering to the data services for its global clinical trials.
