For almost 350 years, we have become a global company. Our approximately 50,000 employees work in 66 countries and are united by their passion for new ideas, the opportunities for technology and the potential to make a difference in the world.
We are internationally known as Merck. In the US and Canada, we work as EMD Serono in the Biopharma business, as MilliporeSigma in the Life Science business, and as EMD Performance Materials.
