About Meda
Mylan completed its acquisition of Meda on August 5, 2016. Learn more.
Meda is a leading international specialty pharma company with a broad product portfolio reaching more than 80% of the global pharmaceutical market. Sales at the end of 2015 amounted to more than SEK 19,6 billion.
At the end of 2015 Meda had around 4,600 (5,200) employees, 2,690 (2,900) of which worked in sales and marketing. The company’s main focus is sales and marketing and Meda has its own sales organizations in more than 60 countries. Sales and marketing activities are carried out via distributors in countries where Meda has no representation and globally Meda’s products are sold in more than 150 countries. Over the past few years Meda’s presence in growth markets has grown. The marketing organizations in these markets employ about 1,100 people (1,083).
In 2014 Meda acquired the Italian specialty pharma company Rottapharm and after the acquisition, around 60% of Meda’s product sales are in the prescription area (Rx) and around 40% are in non-prescription (Cx and OTC). Meda has a broad product portfolio but there are three key therapy areas – Respiratory, Dermatology and Pain and Inflammation – accounting for around 50% of company sales.
Meda does not conduct any, early-stage pharmaceutical development. New products are secured through acquisitions. Instead, Meda is focused on market-adapted product development in key therapy areas, and sales and marketing.

Established in 1668, Merck is proud to be one of the oldest and largest pharmaceutical and chemical companies in the world. While the company’s roots are firmly grounded in Darmstadt, Germany, Merck has branches in approximately 70 countries around the globe, employing around 50,000 people.
After being represented in South Africa for over 100 years, Merck (Pty) Ltd South Africa became registered as an entity in its own right 45 years ago. Today, the local head office in Modderfontein, Johannesburg, takes care of the sales and distribution of Merck’s broad range of pharmaceutical, consumer health, performance materials and life science products across Africa, as well as providing the relevant technical support.
Merck’s new brand identity, launched in October 2015, reflects Merck’s transformation into a global science and technology company and focuses on innovative, technology-driven businesses as well as the modernisation and expansion of Merck’s global headquarters in Darmstadt, Germany. Merck’s new image is based on the concept of a vibrant science and technology company, and is inspired by the colourful and multifaceted shapes seen under a microscope. The new design features bold and expressive colours and shapes with a scientific look-and-feel. These are also reflected by the new company logo. In comparison with the former logo, the new logo makes for a bold statement.
In 2018, Merck will celebrate 350 years. What an accomplishment for a company still maintained by the original founding family.
