Johnson & Johnson Expanding North Carolina Presence

Johnson & Johnson is expanding in Wilson County via a new multibillion-dollar facility that will create up to 500 new jobs in the community.

This marks the second time in 14 months the company has announced a significant project in Wilson. In October 2024, the company announced it was investing $2 billion in Wilson to establish a new manufacturing campus that would employ upwards of 420 people. Construction of that facility is currently underway and the company has ramped up the hiring of advanced manufacturing employees.

At the newly announced Wilson facility, Johnson & Johnson will produce medicines for oncology and neurological diseases.

In August 2025, the company said it was investing $2 billion in a new biopharmaceutical manufacturing site in Holly Springs that will create 120 jobs over the next 10 years.

Don’t Miss Carter Andrus, Chief Operating Officer of Prologis, as the keynote interview at Connect Industrial Midwest.— taking place Tuesday afternoon, March 10, 2026, at Joe’s Live in Rosemont, IL.
