  • About us :

    Merck KGaA (in North America EMD) is a German company in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry based in Darmstadt. Today's Merck KGaA is independent of the US pharmaceutical company Merck & Co., Inc. Both companies can be traced back to the German industrial family Merck, which Merck & Co., Inc. was a subsidiary of E. Merck ( today Merck KGaA) operated. As a result of the war, Merck & Co., Inc. became an independent company through expropriation. The German Merck lost the rights to the name Merck in North America through the expropriation of the US subsidiary and is no longer allowed to use it there. Therefore it occurs in North America under the name EMD (derived from Emanuel Merck, Darmstadt). Abroad, the US company Merck & Co., Inc. trades as Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD). Merck's beginnings go back to 1668. This makes Merck the oldest pharmaceutical and chemical company in the world.
