Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR) ("Danaher") today announced that Veralto Corporation ("Veralto" or the "Company") will be the name of the separate public company Danaher intends to create in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Veralto will be comprised of an outstanding collection of market-leading brands in Danaher's Environmental and Applied Solutions (EAS) segment: Hach, ChemTreat, Trojan, OTT HydroMet, and McCrometer from Danaher's Water Quality Platform and Videojet, Esko, X-Rite Pantone and Linx from the Product Identification Platform.

As stewards of the world's most vital resources, our businesses help ensure billions of people have safe food, water, and medicines every day," Ms. Honeycutt said.
