A long history for a bright future
With a tradition spanning over three hundred years, Merck is the oldest pharmaceutical and chemical company in the world.
We still operate successfully in both sectors.
This long history signifies a capacity at Merck that is still valid today and will be a crucial factor of success in future:
the ability of our leaders and employees to sustain essential characteristics of the company and – at the same time – to follow
a pioneering spirit and drive innovation. Being aware of this core capacity we have formulated our future strategy “Sustain. Change. Grow.”
