Seoul--(뉴스와이어)--Merck Korea, a Korean subsidiary of Merck KGaA Germany, will join German World 2008, where it will demonstrate how to meet Merck in daily life.

Merck is the oldest pharmaceutical and chemical company in the world and market leader for liquid crystals. Merck Korea Ltd. was founded in 1989 and established Merck Advanced Technologies Ltd. (MAT) in 2002 to better serve the Korean display industry. In the same year, an R&D and production center for liquid crystals and a warehouse were opened in Poseung.

Earlier this year Merck announced it is investing 14 billion Korean Won (? 11 million) to establish an Advanced Technology Center in Korea to improve it’s R&D and manufacturing capacities. This investment is intended to strengthen Merck’s position as market and technology leader for liquid crystal materials. “Close cooperation with our customers is key for the successful business development,” said Dr. Andreas Kruse, President of Merck in Korea. “Merck is committed to providing innovative solutions to ensure the future success of the Korean display industry.”

Merck Serono, the pharmaceutal division of Merck, will present its innovative drugs for Oncology, Neurology, Fertility and other therapeutical areas. Merck Chemicals will show products for display technology, life science, and laboratory use, as well as pigments for coatings and cosmetics.

Merck invites everybody who wants to learn more about the company to “German World,” a High Tech, Lifestyle and Science Fair, taking place from May 29-June 1 in the Indian Hall of the COEX Seoul.
