Johnson & Johnson Secures Global Manufacturing Capacity for COVID-19 Hopeful, an Industrial Info Market Brief

Fueled by a global pandemic and hundreds of millions of federal WARP SPEED dollars, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) is locking down a global manufacturing network to launch production if its COVID-19 vaccine candidate gets the regulatory green light. From Baltimore, Maryland, to Leiden, Netherlands, the pharma giant has expanded beyond its own already substantial means to partner with contract development manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) Emergent and Catalent. It is important to note that many of the sites are either in the midst of an expansion or already have substantial capacity in place and will be expanding to 24/7 shifts.
