Horlicks is a 137-year old nutritional drink brand that was founded in 1873 by James and William Horlick. It has been through several ownership changes over the years, ultimately being acquired by GlaxoSmithKline in 2000.

It has been successfully repositioned from a nutritional supplement to a pleasurable drink through line extensions and flavor innovations.
