Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) is a global American pharmaceutical, medical devices and consumer packaged goods manufacturer founded in 1886. Its common stock is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the company is listed among the Fortune 500.
Johnson & Johnson consistently ranks at the top of Harris Interactive's National Corporate Reputation Survey ranking as the world's most respected company by Barron's Magazine, and was the first corporation awarded the Benjamin Franklin Award for Public Diplomacy by the U.S. State Department for its funding of international education programs. A suit brought by the United States Department of Justice in 2010, however, alleges that the company from 1999 to 2004 illegally marketed drugs including antipsychotics to Omnicare, a pharmacy that dispenses the drugs in nursing homes. Johnson & Johnson responded that the payments were lawful and appropriate.
The corporation's headquarters is located in New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States. Its consumer division is located in Skillman, New Jersey. The corporation includes some 250 subsidiary companies with operations in over 57 countries. Its products are sold in over 175 countries. Johnson & Johnson had worldwide pharmaceutical sales of $24.6 billion for the full-year 2008.
Johnson & Johnson's brands include numerous household names of medications and first aid supplies. Among its well-known consumer products are the Band-Aid Brand line of bandages, Tylenol medications, Johnson's baby products, Neutrogena skin and beauty products, Clean & Clear facial wash and Acuvue contact lenses.
Johnson & Johnson Malaya Limited was incorporated in 1960 and continued sales through its distributors.
In February 1962, the company with a work force of 50 employees commenced manufacturing operations from a single-storey office block and factory occupying a 4.8 acre land at Jalan Tandang, Petaling Jaya.
As the company grew, the agency distributorship was terminated and the Company assumed its own direct selling activities in Peninsular Malaysia in July 1976, establishing its own depot network in Butterworth, Ipoh, Malacca and Kuantan.
As the business continued to grow in the 80's, it was supported not only with increased employee headcount but also in expansion of its facilities which included the extended office block, new canteen, warehouse extension, provision of air-condition to the factory and improved parking lots.
Today, the Company has established a leadership position in the health care industry. This is the fruit of its employees' dedication, teamwork and its commitment towards "The Signature of Quality" to continually provide its customers with the best, most innovative products and services.
