Merck Animal Health and State of Kansas Announce $895 Million Investment in Manufacturing and Research & Development Facilities in De Soto<\/b><\/p>\n

Merck Animal Health unveils its largest economic development project in recent history<\/i><\/p>\n

RAHWAY, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nMerck Animal Health, known as MSD Animal Health outside of the United States and Canada, a division of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, N.J., USA (NYSE: MRK), and Kansas Governor Laura Kelly jointly announced today the $895 million expansion of Merck Animal Health\u2019s manufacturing facility in De Soto, Kansas.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe $895 million capital expansion will be constructed on an existing Merck-owned property that is the site of its biologics facility in De Soto, Kansas. It includes an $860 million investment in the site\u2019s existing manufacturing facility and a further $35 million investment in its research and development laboratories.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe 200,000-square-foot manufacturing facility project will expand filling and freeze dryer capacity for large molecule vaccines and biologic products for Merck Animal Health. As a Center of Excellence, it will play a pivotal role in the manufacturing of Merck Animal Health\u2019s products and will complement Merck Animal Health\u2019s extensive U.S. and international network of animal health product manufacturing plants.\n<\/p>\n

\nSite preparation and facility design will start immediately, creating 2,500 construction jobs. Commercial manufacturing is expected to begin in 2030, creating more than 200 full-time roles.\n<\/p>\n

\nMerck Animal Health\u2019s significant investment in its research and development laboratories will enhance its research capabilities, focusing on advancing Merck Animal Health\u2019s global drug discovery and development initiatives. The investment will continue to drive Merck Animal Health\u2019s innovative research and development of novel parasiticides and therapeutics, reinforcing the company\u2019s dedication to improving animal health and welfare worldwide.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOur De Soto, Kansas manufacturing facility is strategically located in the heart of the Animal Health Corridor. This region is renowned for its concentration of animal health companies, fostering an unparalleled ecosystem for innovation, collaboration and industry leadership,\u201d said Richard DeLuca, president, Merck Animal Health. \u201cThis investment in our site is designed to increase Merck Animal Health\u2019s ability to meet the growing customer demand for its portfolio of animal biologics products and ensure the company remains at the forefront of innovation in the animal health sector. This initiative also reflects our dedication to advancing animal health and our on-going investment in the communities where we operate.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nMerck Animal Health is partnering with the state of Kansas on expansion of the existing manufacturing facility. The investment demonstrates Merck Animal Health\u2019s commitment to the U.S. market, in which the company has significantly invested to deliver innovative health solutions that advance the prevention and treatment of animal diseases. This marks one of the largest economic development projects in Kansas\u2019 recent history and the largest for Merck Animal Health.\n<\/p>\n

\nSince the advent of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Merck has allocated more than $12 billion to enhance its domestic manufacturing and research capabilities, with additional planned investments of more than $9 billion by the end of 2028.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis extraordinary investment by Merck Animal Health underscores my administration\u2019s commitment to securing a strong economic future for our state and ensuring prosperity for generations to come,\u201d Governor Laura Kelly said. \u201cPublic-private partnerships that lead to major global projects, such as those with Merck, Fiserv and Panasonic \u2013 just to name a few recent successes \u2013 are occurring because people believe in Kansas. They believe in who we are, what we are doing, and the direction we have taken.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cMerck\u2019s massive expansion in De Soto further elevates Kansas\u2019 long-established status as a global leader in animal health,\u201d Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. \u201cThe opportunities and ripple effects of having almost $1 billion surge into the local economy will have far-reaching and long-lasting reverberations across the entire state. Historic investments such as these truly benefit all Kansans, both now and into the future.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
