THE official opening of Merck's new Sydney office in Macquarie Park (PD yesterday) saw former Aussie tennis champ, and now local MP, John Alexander OAM, assist Merck Chairman, Dr Frank Stangenberg-Haverkamp, in the official ribbon cutting.
"Merck has a 351-year heritage and as the family of owners, we want to build on this successful legacy for future generations," said Dr Stangenberg-Haverkamp.
"We are proud of our company and its people -- about 56,000 curious minds dedicated to human progress...they are pushing the boundaries of possibility to create opportunities for everyone -- here in Australia and in more than 60 further countries around the world," he said.
Also participating in the ceremony (pictured) were Merck Healthcare MD and GM for Australia/NZ, Leah Goodman and Bradley Simpson, the company's Life Science Managing Director for the region.
Simpson said the move to consolidate Merck's Sydney-based Healthcare and Life Science divisions would further drive the success of the business, demonstrating that Merck is "truly a vibrant science and technology company".
