Merck KGaA was founded in 1668 by Friedrich Jacob Merck in Darmstadt, Germany when he purchased a drug store. The company grew into a chemical-pharmaceutical company that was run by the Merck family for generations.
In 1891 George Merck emigrated to the United States and set up Merck & Co. as an American subsidiary.
Under wartime policy, Merck & Co. was confiscated in 1917 and established as an independent American company.
In 1953, Merck merged with Sharp & Dohme, Inc to become the largest U.S. drug maker. The merger united Merck’s strength in scientific research and chemical manufacturing with Sharp & Dohme’s sales and distribution system, as well as their marketing expertise.
In 1993 Merck completed the acquisition of one of the largest mail-order pharmacy and managed-care drug companies, Medco Containment Services, Inc, for $6 billion.
Today Merck is one of the seven largest pharmaceutical companies in the world by market capitalization and revenue.
Merck trades on the NYSE under the symbol MRK, is part of the S&P 500, has 86,000 employees, and had revenue of $48.047 billion in 2012.

I have been waiting to be approved by the Merck assistance program for over 3 months. I need my medication, and every time my doctor sends my prescription your people at the assistance program keeps telling me I didn’t do this and I didn’t do that or something didn’t get signed . I was on the assistance program last year with no problem, this year I have been calling and sending copies of my information, and all I get is another excuse why my prescription is not being approved. I NEED MY MEDICATION. I live in Calif. and when I get home the program is closed, I try to call during the day but it is hard to get free to make the call. Today, I called and was suppose to talk to Steve about my medication, he wasn’t in today and I was told to call back tomorrow. I also received a letter in the mail that says I need to write a new letter and ask for an exemption. WHY didn’t I get asked for this letter three months ago. I would like to why my first letters explaining why I needed this help for my prescription was not accepted. I need this medication.

PLEASE STOP your popup ads. They are most annoying and there is no way to delete them.
This matter may be better settled in person. If so, please advise and I will come to your corporate offices to discuss — I have a private plane so this would not take a lot of time from my day. — but it’d be worth it

Another big company that makes you jump through hoops if they screw up, amazing, the employee’s in the service center are rude as hell because there is no one to complain to about it…..we’ll see if anyone cares I could not even get a survey.

a retired Merck employee has been swindled out of a month’s pension by a third party who handles Merck’s pensions and splitting them when a person gets divorced. it seems like they are more concerned with getting the ex-spouse your pension than they are with getting the ex employee their pension. Now try to call someone to talk about this….impossible. Have your lawyer send a letter. It simply goes unanswered and your ex winds up with your pension for a month and you go without. Did I mention Merck suspended my pension payments for seven months while they reviewed the Qualified Domestic Relations Order they already pre-approved. What they do to past employees is disgusting!!!!!!!
Dear Sir/Madam,
On may 24, 2017 I wrote a letter to a Merck National Service Center asking to become a Merck representative in Uzbekistan (case #00464535). Since then I didn’t get an answer.
Merck doesn’t have representative in Uzbekistan.
I am a US citizen, who was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. I hold a doctorate degree in mathematics. Since 1992 I live in Sacramento, California, and work as a professor in the local college.
I have a lot friends and connections back in Uzbekistan. First thing I’ll do is start a shingle vaccination in Uzbekistan. A lot of my friends and others experienced a shingle attack recently. And Merck the only company, who has a vaccine. I myself got a Zostavax two years ago.
My dream is to help people of Uzbekistan with shingles and other disease using Merck’s products.
Sincerely yours,
Alisher Abdul
