We believe in a smart, solutions and prevention-focused approach to meeting today's animal health challenges and focus above all on one critical question: What does the world need from an animal health company? The animal health industry is increasingly global for many reasons, including the multi-national complexity of today's food-producing companies; the cross-border risks of infectious animal diseases; and the growing desire for pet companionship in every corner of the globe. It’s a dynamic industry, so we believe our employees should be too. Merial establishes structured career paths and offers clear support to help our people move along them successfully. Our programs vary from function-specific skills to broader initiatives that apply to every role in the company, such as cultivating innovative thinking. Merial is now part of Boehringer Ingelheim.
