默克电子科技业务宣布投资中国倍增计划 - 2022年01月28日

German high tech firm Merck plans to double its investment in China by spending over 1 billion yuan (US$156 million) by 2025 on expanding its electronics business.

The investment will be used in semiconductor material production and research aligned with the company's three existing manufacturing sites in China, two in Shanghai and one in Suzhou.

Merck is closely linked to the start of the "golden era" of China's semiconductor industry and its latest investment represents Shanghai's appeal to overseas firms, with improved business environment and ecosystem, despite COVID-19 challenges.
