SIGMA Pharmaceuticals has today announced plans to change its name to Sigma Healthcare Ltd, "to better reflect its broader healthcare focus".
A new logo has been unveiled (pictured) and a change of ASX code from SIP back to its original designation SIG will accompany the change of name.
Shareholders will vote on the changes at the company's annual general meeting on 03 May.
Sigma ceo and md Mark Hooper explained, "This is more than a symbolic change.
"It is an important and exciting change that better represents Sigma's evolution and vision to be a more holistic healthcare company."
"Sigma is in a fantastic position in the healthcare space to connect products, services and data to provide greater benefit for our customers, our partners and ultimately growth for our members and Sigma,'' said Hooper.
"Along with the name change, we will be going to market with a new logo and tagline that we believe better captures Sigma's role in the healthcare industry -- 'Connecting Health Solutions'.
"It defines what we do."
With more than 1200 branded and independent pharmacies in its network, including Amcal+, Chemist King, Discount Drug Stores, Guardian, and Pharmasave the company lays claim to the largest pharmacy-led network in Australia.
