J&J to Invest $2 Billion to Boost US Manufacturing

Johnson & Johnson's $2 billion investment includes creating about 120 jobs and is part of a $55 billion US manufacturing expansion amid proposed drug import tariffs.

  • On Thursday, Johnson & Johnson announced a $2 billion investment to operate a 160,000-square-foot facility at Fujifilm's Holly Springs, North Carolina hub.
  • Earlier this year, J&J announced its $55 billion programme to boost US manufacturing, responding to tariff threats from President Donald Trump of duties up to 250%.
  • J&J said it reached a 10-year agreement with Tokyo-based Fujifilm Diosynth for a more than 160,000-square-foot facility in Holly Springs, North Carolina, creating about 120 jobs with a $2 billion investment over ten years.
  • Construction has begun in Wilson, North Carolina, about 85km east of Holly Springs, and will create over 5,000 construction jobs plus employ more than 500 people when operational.
  • J&J said in the coming months it will disclose plans for additional US facilities and expansions, while peers Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, and Roche commit billions, though economist Michael Szanto warns reshoring will be gradual.
