Johnson & Johnson, a global healthcare company, is expanding in Wilson County, North Carolina 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.

Wilson is not the only North Carolina community where Johnson & Johnson has announced major projects lately. In August 2025, the company said it was investing $2 billion in a new biopharmaceutical manufacturing site in Holly Springs.
