Aventis Behring L.L.C.
 PROFILE
Take away the red and white blood cells from blood and you get plasma, a protein-rich fluid. Aventis Behring, through its Aventis Bio-Services unit, is among the world's largest fully integrated plasma collection companies. The firm's plasma protein products are used routinely during surgery and in the treatment of a range of other disorders, including immune deficiencies, trauma, and burns. Formerly known as Centeon, a joint venture between Rhone-Poulenc Rorer and Hoechst, Aventis Behring was formed when those two companies merged to form drug and life sciences firm Aventis. The company takes the second part of its name from Emil von Behring, a German doctor who worked to find treatments for infectious diseases.
