Company History
At Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, we think in generations. Our goal is to pass the company on to the next generation better than we found it. This is the mindset that has allowed us to exist for almost 350 years. The growth of the organization from a family-run pharmacy in 1668 into today’s multibillion-dollar pharmaceutical and chemical company is the result of 13 generations of scientists, pharmacists and chemists dedicated to advancing discoveries that improve the lives of people around the world.
On November 18, 2015, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, announced the completion of its $17 billion acquisition of Sigma-Aldrich, creating a global leader in the $140 billion industry to help solve the toughest problems in life science. This transaction brings together the world-class products and services, innovative capabilities and exceptional talent of EMD Millipore and Sigma-Aldrich to create a global leader in the life science industry: MilliporeSigma.
