Johnson & Johnson
A healthcare maker of prescription medicines — treatments for cancer, immune and nerve conditions, including DARZALEX and STELARA — plus medical devices such as ACUVUE contact lenses and surgical tools. Three Johnson brothers founded it in 1886 in New Jersey, inspired by a lecture on antiseptic surgery. Fun fact: an employee created BAND-AID bandages in 1920 for his wife, who kept cutting herself while cooking.
