Our Johnson & Johnson

Last year, the maker of personal care products, branded pharmaceuticals and medical devices completed the integration of Pfizer Consumer Healthcare - a division of the pharma giant that includes Benadryl, Nicorette, Listerine and Sudafed - that it acquired in late 2006 for $16.6 billion.

Along with those over-the-counter brands, the company also assumed the rights to Zyrtec, a formerly prescription-only allergy medication that the FDA granted OTC status once the Pfizer patent expired. Armed with a new medicinal treasure chest, revenue grew 14% for the year.

Our History

Johnson & Johnson was founded more than 120 years ago on a revolutionary idea: Doctors and nurses should use sterile sutures, dressings and bandages to treat peoples’ wounds. Since then, we’ve brought the world new ideas and products that have transformed human health and well-being. Every invention, every product, every breakthrough has been powered by generations of employees who are inspired to make a difference.

We credit our strength and endurance to a consistent approach to managing our business, and to the character of our people.
