CSL Behring Reports Progress on Global Implementation of Name Change

Change from ZLB Behring to CSL Behring Underway Around the World

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa.--(HSMN NewsFeed)--CSL Behring today provided an update on its global name change, involving as many as 30 products in each of 70 countries worldwide.
The new name, CSL Behring, is now registered in the U.S., Germany, Switzerland and Canada, with other countries following over the next several months.

The renaming program, announced by CSL Behring's parent organization, CSL Limited, last year, will present a consistent and compelling view of the company operating in new and established markets around the world. "CSL has a tradition of innovation with important vaccines and medicines that began 90 years ago and continues to grow," said Peter Turner, President of CSL Behring. "The Behring part of our name originates with Emil von Behring, an innovator with serum therapies who won the first Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. We have changed our name, but remain strongly committed to the company values of innovation, safety and passion for our customers that we are known for."

The quality, type and volume of products that CSL Behring produces are not impacted by this name change. The company will continue to trade as ZLB Behring in some markets until registration with regulatory authorities is complete. CSL Behring is currently in the process of notifying the respective national health authorities regarding the license transfer. No changes to product names will occur. Throughout the year, company signage, product packaging, Internet sites, e-mail addresses and promotional literature will be updated to reflect the new name.
