When it comes to baby products, the first name that comes to most of our minds is Johnson and Johnson. But, the brand name was associated with surgical dressing when it began in 1886.
Johnson and Johnson was established by Robert Johnson, James Johnson and Edward Johnson in New Jersey, after they split from their former company Seabury & Johnson. It was during the same time that Joseph Lister advocated the use of antiseptics and their importance. Johnson brothers were inspired by his speech and decided to start a business in order to create a line of ready-to-use surgical dressings.
In 1894, they ventured into baby business. Their maternity kits and baby powder became extremely popular. Today, Johnson and Johnson focuses on three main areas: consumer items, medical devices and diagnostics and pharmaceuticals.
