This article is for subscribers only.
CSL Ltd., the world’s second-biggest maker of blood-derived therapies, is taking a hard look at its non-plasma businesses as incoming head Paul Perreault tries to assess their growth prospects.
CSL created a new unit, named bioCSL, in January to encompass its vaccine, pharmaceutical and diagnostics businesses. Their separation from the Melbourne-based company’s CSL Behring plasma division will help identify their profitability, Perreault said in an interview yesterday. The assessment will probably take 18 months to two years, he said.
