"On the basis of information provided by Hoover's (2003), in 1885, in Brunswick, NJ, James and Edward Mead Johnson founded their medical products company and were soon joined by their brother, Robert in 1886. Robert had developed an antiseptic surgical dressing that he wanted to have produced through the company. This represented the beginnings of one of the leading companies in a multitude of industries, including pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical devices and diagnostics manufacturing, and consumer products manufacturing. As Johnson & Johnson moved into the 20th century, the company continued to develop and manufacture products that would long come to be associated its' name."
