ABOUT CSL

Headquartered in Melbourne and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, CSL provides life-saving medicines in more than 60 countries and has over 32,000 employees worldwide. Innovation and growth is a priority for CSL, and its exceptional track record of year-on-year growth and shareholder return coupled with sustained patient impact have garnered CSL a strong reputation across its broad and diverse stakeholder base.

OUR CORE CSL BUSINESSES

CSL Behring's portfolio of innovative medicines includes a wide range of recombinant and plasma-derived products for treating bleeding disorders, immune deficiencies and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, as well as hereditary angioedema and Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency.

CSL Seqirus was established in 2015 from the joining of bioCSL, CSL’s former influenza division and the legacy Novartis Influenza Vaccines business. Together the two elevated Seqirus to the second largest influenza company in the world.
