Johnson & Johnson Corporation

The Johnson & Johnson Corporation is a medical products manufacturer.

Their products include K-Y jelly and a variety of first aid supplies. The
company is perhaps most famous for its manufacture of the Band-Aid line of
bandages.

It has historically been located on the Delaware and Raritan Canal, in New
Brunswick, New Jersey; although the company threatened to move its
headquarters out of New Brunswick in the 1960s, it decided to stay in town
when city officials promised to gentrify downtown New Brunswick by
demolishing old buildings and constructing new ones. While New Brunswick
lost at least one historic edifice (the inn where Rutgers University began)
to the redevelopment, the gentrification did attract people back to New
Brunswick. Johnson and Johnson hired I.M. Pei to design an addition to its
headquarters, which took the form of a white tower in a park by the railroad tracks.

The corporation's consumer products division is located in Skillman, New
Jersey. One of the early CEOS of J&J was Robert Wood Johnson, and he
reportedly improved sanitary practices in the 19th century, as well as
contributing his name to a hospital in New Brunswick.
