Merck KGaA

Pioneering spirit, potential and innovation

Merck is a global pharmaceutical and chemical enterprise. Around 31,000 people work for Merck in 61 countries worldwide. Merck is pursuing a strategy of operating in two major business sectors – Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals. Merck’s core competencies are innovative strength, fast and efficient market penetration, high quality products and processes, customer focus, excellent command of logistic processes and superior service. In early 2007, Merck took a significant step to strengthen itself in a highly promising sector by joining forces with Serono, a leading European biopharmaceutical company. Merck manages its operating activities under the umbrella of Merck KGaA, which is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Today, around 30% percent of the company’s share capital is publicly traded, while the Merck family owns an interest of about 70% via the general partner E. Merck OHG. In June 2007, the Deutsche Börse (Frankfurt, Germany) admitted Merck to the DAX 30 Index.

With roots dating back to 1668, Merck is the world’s oldest pharmaceutical and chemical company. Employees who think and act entrepreneurially, a corporate culture that creates trust and makes innovation possible, a strong customer focus, responsible handling of natural resources and social commitment have always been the keys to Merck’s success.
