Historia
Merck KGaA traces its roots to 1668, when Friedrich Jacob Merck acquired the Engel-Apotheke in Darmstadt, described as the historic core of the world's oldest pharmaceutical and chemical company. The modern listed company dates from 1995: it was recorded as a KGaA in July 1995 and first listed on October 20, 1995, with 39,999,999 shares issued at DM 54.00 (€27.61) on Frankfurt/Xetra, and entered the DAX in 2007. Recent corporate moves include the SpringWorks acquisition (equity value about $3.9 billion, enterprise value $3.4 billion), signed in April 2025 and closed on July 1, 2025; the acquisition of JSR Life Sciences' chromatography business, announced in October 2025 and closed on March 31, 2026 and folded into Process Solutions; the sale of Surface Solutions in 2025; and the September 2025 appointment of Kai Beckmann to succeed Belén Garijo as CEO from May 1, 2026.
