Researched by Protel Associates Limited in alliance with Industrial Info
Europe (Galway, Ireland) -- The United Kingdom pharmaceutical sector
comprises both primary and secondary production and widespread research

production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), mainly consists of
large multi-national groups such as GlaxoSmithKline plc (NYSE:GSK)
(Middlesex, England), Pfizer Incorporated (NYSE:PFE) (New York, New
York), Novartis AG (NYSE:NVS) (Basel, Switzerland), Eli Lilly & Company
(NYSE:LLY) (Indianapolis, Indiana), AstraZeneca plc (London, England),
