01: Name change in affiliate
January 02 2008
Announcement no. 1, 2008
Name change in affiliate – fusion of two webpages and new telephone no.
BioPorto A/S’ 100 % owned affiliate AntibodyShop A/S has changed its name to BioPorto Diagnostics A/S at the turn of the year.
The name BioPorto Diagnostics signals the concern’s focus on diagnostic products and provides customers and collaboration partners with a clear image of the company’s activities. The name change supports the strategic change in 2007 aimed at creating one company primarily driven by organic growth and through the inlicensing of new products and only secondary by acquisitions. The name change ensures a common identity for the two companies.
The diagnostic products and kits will be sold under the name BioPorto Diagnostics. The name AntibodyShop will only be used as a product brand for products aimed at the research segment, primarily antibodies.
The two websites www.bioporto.com and www.antibodyshop.com have fusioned to www.bioporto.com, which now appears as a common website for the concern. In everyday language BioPorto A/S and BioPorto Diagnostics A/S will both be called BioPorto.
At the same time BioPorto A/S’ changes its phone and fax numbers and the companies will have shared main lines - tel. no. (+45) 45 29 00 00 and fax no. (+45) 45 29 00 01.
