Merck Adding to Liquid Crystals

May 31, 2004 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 82, Issue 22

Merck KGaA will invest $35 million in South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan to expand its liquid-crystal mixing capacity. Merck calls itself the world's largest producer of liquid-crystal displays used in flat screens, with a 69% market share.

Merck is commissioning a new $300 million liquid-crystal facility in Germany this year.
