DuPont (NYSE: DD), a globally recognized leader in silicone-based technology

with more than 70 years of experience advancing healthcare through materials

innovation, is introducing DuPont(TM) Liveo(TM), a new brand name for its extensive

range of silicone healthcare solutions.

Inspired by the terms "live" and "to be alive," the new Liveo(TM) brand name

reflects DuPont Healthcare's drive to create next-generation, innovative

solutions that can help patients live life to the fullest. "As the new name for

the longest legacy in healthcare applied silicones brought by DOW CORNING(TM),

Liveo (TM) stands for smarter healthcare and positive patient outcomes", says

the product offering, and packaging material are not changing, and all locations will

continue to manufacture the same products, using the same rigorous processes

and quality oversight as before. Looking ahead, the Liveo (TM) brand will reinforce

DuPont's competitive advantages and leadership positions in three key healthcare

markets – Biopharmaceutical Processing, Pharmaceutical Solutions and Medical Devices.

strengthen our strategic capabilities to support our customers leadership in

disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak", says Eugenio Toccalino,
