RE:RE:Endpoints on Merck kGAa

On October 06, 2022 and in a statement ahead of its capital markets day, the global conglomerate (MerckKGaA) said it will consider "larger-scale" acquisitions beginning in 2023.

Already, Merck KGaA has been investing to support its life science arm MilliporeSigma, most recently with the opening of a new facility in France. The move comes amid a five-year push by the company to increase sales from 19.7 billion euros in 2021 to 25 billion euros by 2025.

Aside from the investment in France, Merck KGaA's MilliporeSigma in June opened a $65 million high-potency active pharmaceutical ingredient site in Wisconsin. In May, the company unveiled a 440 million euro investment in Ireland.
