"When companies have high-stakes R&D and high infrastructure and want to acquire brands, there is a very high complexity of integration. Because we use an outsource model, we are very flexible…And, we’d like to leave [running plants] to those who do it best."
"We give [our strategic partners] something similar to an internal plant – how we see this business transitioning over the next three to six years. They can make decisions about their business that align with our long-term strategy. So, by sharing information, we can help shape how they spend their money, how they allocate their resources."
– Bill Babuschak, regional director of external manufacturing, Johnson & Johnson
