About Me

Our Success Story From the beginning, we hit the ground running. See how far we've come to be the #1 over-the-counter pharmaceutical company in the United States, and a leader around the world. 1879 McNeil is founded in Philadelphia as a retail pharmacy by Robert McNeil, an enterprising young graduate. 1904 Robert Lincoln McNeil joins his father. Together, they build their business, incorporating in 1933 as McNeil Laboratories. The focus becomes the direct marketing of prescription pharmaceuticals to doctors, pharmacists and hospitals. 1955 Tylenol Elixir for children is introduced as the first aspirin-free pain reliever. It is available by prescription only. 1959 Johnson & Johnson acquires McNeil Laboratories. The next year, Tylenol is approved for sale without a prescriptionchanging the way people treat their aches, pains, and fever forever. 1961 As the Tylenol line of OTC options grows, so does McNeil. The company moves into its Fort Washington Headquarters. 1978 McNeil Laboratories divides into two separate organizations, McNeil Pharmaceutical and McNeil Consumer Products Company. Over time, and in response to increasing business demands, the Fort Washington Headquarters expands to include three administrative buildings, three research buildings, a manufacturing plant and a warehouse, as well as a fitness facility and child development center. 2001 McNeil Consumer Healthcare changes its name to McNeil Consumer & Specialty Pharmaceuticals to better reflect its mission and full range of products. Today McNeil Consumer Healthcare continues to seek new opportunities to bring our products to consumers around the world. Currently, we employ approximately 2,600 individuals (all sites and field sales force). Annual sales in 2004 were $2.1 billion.
