Johnson & Johnson is increasing its U.S. manufacturing investments by 25% over the next four years, bringing total domestic investment to over $55 billion. This strategic expansion comes amid proposed pharmaceutical import tariffs and growing pressure for domestic production.

The expansion includes four new manufacturing plants, with one facility breaking ground in Wilson, North Carolina. The locations of the other three sites remain undisclosed.

This move follows similar domestic investment trends from other major corporations:

• Eli Lilly: $27 billion commitment to U.S. facilities over five years
• Apple: $500 billion investment in domestic production

The Wilson, North Carolina facility represents:

• $2 billion investment
• 5,000 construction jobs
• 500+ permanent positions
• Focus on cancer, immune disorder, and neurological disease treatments

The investment strategy aims to:

• Strengthen domestic supply chain resilience
• Mitigate potential tariff impacts
• Expand R&D infrastructure
• Enhance U.S. healthcare market presence

J&J already maintains more manufacturing facilities in the U.S. than any other country. This expansion reinforces their position as the world's largest pharmaceutical company while preparing for potential economic policy shifts and reduced dependence on global supply chains.
