Tim Ryan, VISTAKON® plant manager, said, “We are very excited about the potential to expand in Jacksonville, which is where we started this business 26 years ago. We’re looking forward to continued growth and success, and we appreciate the Governor visiting our plant twice to highlight the sales tax cut on manufacturing equipment.”

The project was made possible through strong partnerships between Enterprise Florida, the City of Jacksonville, JAXUSA, Workforce Florida, Inc., Department of Revenue and Department of Economic Opportunity. The State of Florida has awarded Capital Investment Tax Credit incentives to Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. for this expansion project.

We have enjoyed numerous announcements this year involving job creation and capital investment.”
