Drug Distributor AmerisourceBergen to Change Name to Cencora
AmerisourceBergen plans to change its name to Cencora to reflect its aim to expand outside the U.S. and beyond drug distribution. The company, among the largest distributors of medicines and other healthcare products in the U.S., with $239 billion in revenue last fiscal year, said Tuesday it expects to begin using the new name in the second half of this year. “As a global company, the name AmerisourceBergen was becoming less and less reflective to us of how we felt about the company,” said Chief Executive Steven Collis.
