Courage and pioneering spirit as key to innovation

Innovation – at Merck this is not just a buzzword. We spend about EUR 1 billion every year to serve the well-being of many people and to address social issues – while at the same forming the basis for further business success.

Targeted expansion of our product range is crucial to us. Here we place our full trust in our employees. Their work and their creativity provide Merck with the keys to new products for the most important markets.

Merck ensures that its employees find the best prerequisites for this. We continuously expand our research capabilities through acquisitions, partnerships and strategic alliances across the borders of industries and countries.

Research and development of innovative drugs and chemicals is crucial to long-term success. The focus of our research in Pharmaceuticals is on the development of new therapies for cancer, treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis, endocrinology, fertility, as well as autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The focus of our research in Chemicals is on further expanding our competitive edge in liquid crystals and effect pigments.
