Weider Nutrition International Inc. announced Friday that it will change its name to Schiff Nutrition International Inc.
Shareholders approved the name change at the company's annual meeting this week, and the company will begin trading under the Schiff name on the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday. It will retain its NYSE symbol, WNI.
Weider officials said the name change reflects efforts by the company to dedicate resources to its Schiff branded business, which represents the majority of the company's revenues.
