Last update: 9 hours ago

Big Investment for Local Manufacturing: Johnson & Johnson is putting more than $1 billion into Jacksonville to expand Vision operations, including a new distribution facility plus advanced manufacturing and packaging tech to boost ACUVUE contact lens capacity, with construction underway and a target to be fully operational in 2028. Workforce & Supply Chain Push: The expansion is tied to J&J’s broader $55 billion U.S. manufacturing, R&D and technology commitment through early 2029, aimed at strengthening domestic supply resilience and supporting the company’s 3,500 local employees. Defense Tech Deal in Florida: Quantum Cyber executed an exclusive worldwide IP license with Miami-based Project LightShift for quantum photonic array technology, targeting quantum antenna systems for drone and defense/national security use. Logistics Expansion: Launch 3 Telecom secured a new ~25,000 sq. ft. Lakeland facility to expand telecom/electrical logistics and distribution services. Legal/Accountability Watch: A Florida jury awarded $603 million in a counterfeit airbag case, underscoring pressure on parts makers over safety and compliance. Industry Spotlight: Florida Chamber’s “Coolest Thing Made in Florida” voting is open, featuring 125 products from manufacturers across all 67 counties.
