Merck & Co., Inc. is an American multinational pharmaceutical company headquartered in Rahway, New Jersey, and is named for Merck Group, founded in Germany in 1668, of whom it was once the American arm. The company does business as Merck Sharp & Dohme or MSD outside the United States and Canada. It is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, generally ranking in the global top five by revenue.
The corporation conducts business outside of the United States and Canada under Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD). It was founded as an American subsidiary of the German pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. in 1891. The company was given this name in honour of the Merck family.
Merck acquired the Livogen trademark from Glaxo India for Rs 8 crore in 2000 – well over the market value. According to the company, Rofecoxib will be distributed in the Philippines via a co-marketing arrangement with the local pharmaceutical business Kopran.
When Biochem Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd purchased Taloja in 2004, the firm spent a total of Rs 100 million, making it the most costly acquisition the company had made then. On March 27, 2002, a decision was made to rename the company from E Merck (India) Ltd to Merck Ltd, and the company was officially constituted on that day. This increased the firm’s capacity for the manufacturing of Bulk Drugs by 33 tonnes in 2006, increasing the company’s overall production capacity to 351 tonnes. In 2020, the pharmaceutical business will have six blockbuster medications or products with more than $1 billion in revenue.
Merck & Co. was originally established as the American affiliate of Merck Group in 1891. Merck develops and produces medicines, vaccines, biologic therapies and animal health products. It has multiple blockbuster drugs or products each with 2020 revenues including cancer immunotherapy, anti-diabetic medication and vaccines against HPV and chickenpox.
The company is ranked 71st on the 2022 Fortune 500 and 87th on the 2022 Forbes Global 2000, both based on 2021 revenues.
