How do you make a good idea successful?

By combining tradition with innovation. And with Merck.

How Merck makes you successful

Every good idea needs an active breeding ground and a stable climate to develop. The idea grows and matures into a product. The finished product and its development process are fertile ground for new ideas:

To be successful you have to set this cycle in motion and keep it going. Just like Merck. Merck builds upon the foundations of its technological expertise and functional processes - from research to marketing. From that and from its passion for chemistry, Merck generates future-oriented ideas. Around 3,400 Merck researchers and developers worldwide from Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals are working for you with a pioneering spirit and perseverance. Success through innovation.

Because we want you to be successful.

From the idea to the finished product

The idea is at the beginning of Merck's cycle of innovation. This moves on to intensive research work: Merck's interdisciplinary teams from business and science are working worldwide on creative approaches for future market demands. Besides Darmstadt, the most important chemical research locations are in Atsugi and Onahama (both in Japan), Madison, Wisconsin (United States) and Southampton (United Kingdom). Merck deploys an international network for its innovations. When a new product comes out of research a systematic patent strategy ensures long-term utilization.

You can consult Merck as a partner at any step of your project - or conduct the entire development process with Merck's researchers and developers.
