BRING YOUR CURIOSITY TO LIFE

To us, our employees are more than lab coats, blue-collars, suits or faces amongst many others. Around the world we employ discoverers, we clear the way for pioneers and encourage bold innovators.

As part of our team you can contribute to shaping how our world lives, works and plays – through next generation advancements in science and technology. From improving electronic devices with smarter materials to generating ultra pure water, testing the quality of food and drugs, and treating cancer, we always promote opportunities to break new ground.

Our pursuit is progress for people everywhere. That's why we take a closer look at things, ask questions and think ahead.

We've been around for more than 350 years, yet our majority owners are still the descendants of Friedrich Jacob Merck, the man who founded our company in Darmstadt, Germany in 1668.

Since then, we have become a truly global company. Around 57,000 employees work to make a positive difference to millions of people’s lives every day by creating more joyful and sustainable ways to live. From advancing gene editing technologies and discovering unique ways to treat the most challenging diseases to enabling the intelligence of devices – the company is everywhere. In 2019, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, generated sales of € 16.2 billion in 66 countries.
