Merck KGaA will invest €130 million ($132 million) in its manufacturing arm—MilliporeSigma—to employ single-use assemblies at its facility in Molsheim, France. It will create more than 800 jobs by the end of 2028, the company said.

By the end of 2024, MilliporeSigma plans to begin operations at the new 37,000-square foot clean rooms provided by the investment, with full production levels reached later in the decade. The company also expects a new logistics warehouse and administrative building to be ready by the end of 2024.
