Introducing Today's Merck

A stronger pipeline. More products to help people in more ways. More passionate than ever about what matters to our customers. Meet the new Merck.

Merck and Schering-Plough are now one company. We recently merged to create a stronger, more diverse and more truly global company. This not only benefits our company and our shareholders, but it also benefits the millions of people around the world who rely on our products and expect us to continue to deliver exceptional value.

Historically, Merck and Schering-Plough have a lot in common. Both are strong, science-based companies. Both have a common mission – and passion – to improve health and well-being around the world. And both share a long-standing commitment to putting our customers first and being there for people in times of need.

Today, we are building a new kind of healthcare company – one that is ready to help create a healthier future for all of us.

We've done great things in the past. Today, we're doing great things for the future.

Merck and Schering-Plough recently merged to create a new company. Today, we are the second-largest pharmaceutical company in the world. We also are a global leader in consumer products and animal care.

Both Merck and Schering-Plough have a long and rich history of working to improve people's health and well-being. Through the years, our researchers have helped to find new ways to treat and prevent illness - from the discovery of vitamin B1, to the first measles vaccine, to cold remedies and antacids, to the first statins to treat high cholesterol. Our scientists also have helped develop many products to improve animal health, including vaccines and antibiotics.

While we are proud of our past, we are enthusiastic about the future of this new company and we are excited to help create a healthier, brighter future for people around the world.

We come from many backgrounds and do different things, but we all strive to deliver on the same promise: finding new ways to create a healthier future.

This is the common goal that unites and guides us at Merck. Uncompromising dedication to the people who depend on our products is a passion we all share.

At Merck, you'll find rewarding opportunities, diverse experiences and an unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. As part of our global team, you'll collaborate with talented and dedicated colleagues whose sense of purpose complements your own.
