History

What we have achieved.

Upper Polygon
Lower Polygone

Our tradition of innovations is long. We have been inventing therapeutic solutions for the unmet needs of patients and healthcare providers for more than 110 years, always following the principle of our founder Friedrich Merz: “Do it differently than the others.”

In order to meet patients’ needs even better and to reach even more people by driving responsible growth, Merz Therapeutics, part of the Merz Group, has been operating as an individual business since 2020.
