Johnson & Johnson today announced an investment of more than $1 billion in Jacksonville, Florida to strengthen its Vision operations by scaling U.S.-based manufacturing, packaging and distribution capabilities.
The investment includes construction of a new distribution facility, alongside advanced manufacturing and packaging technologies to expand capacity and meet growing demand for the Company’s market-leading ACUVUE-brand contact lenses.
Today’s announcement is part of the company’s previously announced $55 billion U.S. investment in manufacturing, research and development, and technology through early 2029. Construction of the new facility is underway with the goal of being fully operational in 2028.
Today, Johnson & Johnson manufactures more than 1.7 billion ACUVUE contact lenses annually for U.S. patients.
Since establishing its Jacksonville presence in 1981, the Company has built a strong foundation for economic growth in the region. Today, Johnson & Johnson contributes approximately $6 billion annually to Florida’s economy, supported by more than 1.5 million square feet of manufacturing, research, distribution, and operations facilities.
