Galen Ltd, the original company, was founded in 1968 and is itself a successful Pharma business of considerable international repute. Galen heralded the establishment of Almac and was founded with a significant proportion of current staff including the majority of our present senior management team. The depth of experience found throughout the Almac team is the backbone of this global and highly successful business.

Almac's North American Headquarters in Souderton, PA was opened by Senator George Mitchell in May 2011.  The new development represents $120 million investment and brings strength to the Almac position as a truly global organisation and a global leader in pharmaceutical services.

On 12^th January 2010 we received sad news that Sir Allen McClay, our founder and chairman, had passed away after a short illness.  Allen always referred to all employees of Almac as his ‘family’ and as such everyone who knew Allen respected him and he is greatly missed by everyone in the organisation.  Allen’s greatest wish was to see Almac continue to flourish in the pharmaceutical world and as such he would have been pleased that despite his passing, the organisation has had its most successful year ever.  We at Almac are determined to continue the vision that Allen was so proud of and that is ‘to be the leader in the generation of superior solutions for the advancement of human health’.
