The story

The company was founded in 1982 by Graham Leslie. In January 2008, the company was acquired by Perrigo for $86 million.

From August 2004 until July 2012, the Huddersfield Town football stadium, also home to the Huddersfield Giants Rugby League club, was known as the Galpharm Stadium as part of a sponsorship deal. The stadium was subsequently renamed the John Smith's Stadium and then the Accu Stadium as a result of further sponsorship deals.
