Description
American multinational company Johnson & Johnson, operating in the consumer medical and pharmaceutical products sector, is to expand its staffing at its expanded Prague facility and create 300 new jobs.

The reason given for the expansion in the Czech Republic is the availability of qualified individuals, its strategic location within Europe, a positive business environment and the successful ten-year track record of the Prague centre which employs around 450 professionals from 43 countries.
