Johnson & Johnson was founded in 1886 in New Jersey, offering innovation in medical, pharmaceutical and consumer goods. In 1914 the company repurposed its production lines to create an antiseptic wound treatment for World War I soldiers called the Carrel-Dakin system. The company continued to produce dressings and bandages to aid the allies in addition to making new medication. In World War II it retooled its business again, inventing duct tape (also known as duck tape) and manufacturing gas masks, planes and military products.
