Johnson and Johnson (J&J) announced on Friday in a press release that it will up its investments in the United States to more than $55 billion over the next four years, a 25% jump compared to the previous four-year period.
"Today's announcements accelerate our nearly 140-year legacy as an American innovation engine tackling the world's toughest healthcare challenges. Our increased US investment begins with the ground-breaking of a high-tech facility in North Carolina," CEO Joaquin Duato said.
Apart from the North Carolina facility, the company is putting money into new advanced manufacturing facilities and the expansion of several existing sites across the Innovative Medicine and MedTech businesses; further investing in research and development (R&D) infrastructure; and investing more in technology.
