See Coporate Profile "The Name 'Merck'" and "History" at www.merck.de From "Merck is Not The Same as Merck": "The two are confused again and again – and yet the direct association between Merck´KGaA in Darmstadt and the U.S. pharmaceutical company Merck & Co., Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, ended a long time ago. Merck in Darmstadt is the oldest pharmaceutical and chemical company in the world – and still operates successfully today in both the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors. Merck & Co. became an independent company after World War I...The successful export business in the United States led in 1887 to the establishment of a subsidiary in New York. Under Georg Merck, a grandson of Heinrich Emanuel Merck, Merck & Co. was formed in 1891. " [Source: http://www.merck.de/servlet/PB/menu/1014710/index.html]  Search this
