Mer­ck KGaA con­tin­ues ex­pan­sion with $285M+ in­vest­ment in 2 new projects in France and Ger­many

It is no se­cret that Mer­ck KGaA has been on an ex­pan­sion dri­ve across the US and Ire­land over the past year, but its lat­est move will look to boost the com­pa­ny’s pres­ence in main­land Eu­rope too.

The in­vest­ment in the 50-year-old site will al­so aim to cre­ate around 800 jobs by 2028.
