History.
In the late nineteenth century, during the American Civil War, Joseph Lister, an English doctor, discovered airborne bacteria in the operating room and created the doctrine of "invisible bacteria". At the time, General Robert Wood Johnson, who served as a field medical officer, became an early adopter of Lister's theory.
In 1886, Johnson and his two brothers started a new business together in New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA - the manufacture of sterile surgical dressings - and formally founded the Johnson & Johnson Company. They employed 14 people and maintained a position in their industry.
As the business expanded and grew, Johnson & Johnson established new companies in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia in the 1920s to manufacture health products and promote health development.
With more than 100 years of unrelenting innovation, Johnson & Johnson has established more than 230 subsidiaries in 57 countries, selling its products in 175 countries and employing more than 116,000 people, making it the world's most comprehensive and widespread manufacturer of health care products and related service providers. Johnson & Johnson is an integrated and widely distributed health care products manufacturer and related services provider in the consumer and personal care products, pharmaceutical products and medical device and diagnostic markets.
