MSD Animal Health, the animal health division of the American pharmaceutical group Merck, is expanding its production in Austria and taking over the former Baxter site in Krems, Lower Austria.

MSD intends to invest about USD 220 million over the next four to five years in the expansion of the existing Baxter facility, and will create approx. 400 new jobs.

The new production plant will primarily manufacture vaccines. “On the basis of this acquisition, we are positioning ourselves for strong, long-term growth”, states Joseph Morrissey, Vice President of MSD Animal Health. After completing adaptations to the site, the company plans to commence vaccine production in two years. MSD already operates a manufacturing facility in Vienna for veterinary pharmaceuticals via its subsidiary Intervet. It mainly produces hormones, tick protection and control products, cardiovascular medicines and antibiotics. The animal medicines are exported for the most part, especially to the USA. Merck’s animal health division is represented in 50 countries, and its products are available in 150 markets worldwide.

A revolution is in the making. The nuclear clock is the measure of all things when it comes to precisely telling time. However, the technology has not fully matured, and nuclear clocks could potentially tick even more precisely.

How Austria Shapes Its Future with AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is certainly the most powerful new technology available today. This is probably the reason why the underlying discussion is frequently driven by fear. Hollywood has also contributed to this. Half-human, half-machine mutants resembling Frankenstein and Terminator are the spectres unleased by AI. However, as is often the case, Hollywood’s fantasy has little to do with reality.
