Dear Merck employees,
The time has finally come: The VITENSO Health Center is opening its doors and cordially invites you to its grand opening. From September 8 to 10, 2025, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. each day, you can discover our new health center right next to the Merck daycare center. Spanning over 1,300 square meters, you can expect premium fitness, state-of-the-art physiotherapy, and occupational health management—all at the highest level and exclusively for Merck Group employees.
Experience the latest generation of training and health technologies such as Skill Court and E-Gym, enjoy the high-quality equipment, and get to know our professional team of trainers and physiotherapists.
