These expansions positioned Johnson & Johnson as a global leader in pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and consumer health products.
In Brazil, the company began operations in 1933 with the opening of its first factory in the Mooca district of São Paulo. Since then, it has established a solid presence in the Brazilian market with widely recognized and trusted brands.
A key milestone in the company’s trajectory was its listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), cementing its status as one of the largest healthcare corporations in the world.
In 2021, Johnson & Johnson announced the spin-off of its Consumer Health division, creating a new independent company while retaining its focus on pharmaceuticals and medical devices. This strategic decision aimed to enhance operational efficiency and accelerate innovation.
The company also played a pivotal role during the COVID-19 pandemic, developing a single-dose vaccine approved for emergency use in several countries.
