Historique
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.
Position dans le secteur
Merck KGaA is a diversified science and technology group spanning three segments — Healthcare (prescription drugs and biopharmaceuticals), Life Science (lab and bioprocessing tools, consumables, process materials and services) and Electronics (semiconductor and display materials) — with €21.1 billion of 2025 net sales, about 59,077 employees and a market capitalization of roughly €58.1 billion. In Life Science it competes against Danaher, Thermo Fisher and Sartorius, with its 2025 Life Science EBITDA pre of €3.08 billion at a 35.8% margin; in Electronics it competes with Entegris, DuPont's electronics businesses, Tokyo Ohka, Shin-Etsu and JSR; and in Healthcare, UCB is a comparison point. In the United States and Canada the group operates under the EMD Serono, MilliporeSigma and EMD Electronics names, reflecting a trademark separation from the unrelated U.S. Merck & Co.
