Merck Opens Molybdenum Precursor Plant in Eumseong, Targets Memory Materials Supply Chain

Germany's Merck opened a molybdenum precursor plant in Eumseong, South Korea, aiming to supply key materials to memory chipmakers. The move could help optimize material procurement and supply chain stability for companies like SK Hynix, but its short-term stock impact is limited and is more of an industry-level capacity expansion.
