GSK plc GSK

Company Overview

GSK plc is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, manufacturing, and commercialization of medicines and vaccines. The company operates primarily within the pharmaceuticals and vaccines industries, serving governments, healthcare systems, and patients worldwide. Its core purpose is to prevent and treat disease across major therapeutic areas, including infectious diseases, HIV, respiratory and immunology, oncology, and specialty medicines.

The company traces its origins to the 18th century, evolving through multiple mergers and restructurings, most notably the formation of GlaxoSmithKline in 2000 and the subsequent demerger of its consumer healthcare business into Haleon plc in 2022. Following this separation, GSK became a more focused, innovation-driven biopharma company, emphasizing prescription medicines and vaccines with a strong science-led strategy.
