The agricultural division of DowDuPont, the company created when Dow and DuPont merged, will have a new name come this summer – Corteva Agriscience.
As part of the merger, three divisions will be created. DowDuPont expects to spin off the ag division by June 1, with the new name becoming effective then, according to a news release.
The material science division will be called Dow and will retain the Dow diamond logo. The specialty products division will be called DuPont.
Corteva brings together DuPont Crop Protection, DuPont Pioneer and Dow AgroSciences.
The ag company will be headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, home of the former DuPont Crop Protection. Sites in Johnston, Iowa, and Indianapolis, Indiana, will serve as global business centers.
