The Ethicon/Bound Brook H.S. partnership began with FIRST Robotics eleven years ago and was originally designed to be temporary. Ethicon's initial intention was to start additional teams. However, the focus became quality, not quantity and we developed a synergy that has remained incredibly strong throughout our ten year friendship. To date, Ethicon has provided over $200,000 in scholarship funds and helped BBHS with numerous enhancements both in and out of the classroom.
Team 56 was the first Johnson and Johnson team and the first team in New Jersey. We were instrumental in establishing the Mid-Atlantic Regional after staging a demonstration at the Liberty Science Center. This helped bring Johnson and Johnson support into the program. We also worked with three other teams to stage a match at Drexel University, a move that resulted in the formation of the Philadelphia Regional. Eleven years later, Team 56 continues to strive to promote science and technology.

 ETHICON, a global medical device company, has been a leader in surgical sutures (stitches) for more than 100 years. Today, we have expanded our expertise into wound management, women's health, and cardiovascular surgery. We have four business units that operate separately under the ETHICON umbrella, yet share the synergy of being not only part of ETHICON, but of Johnson & Johnson, the world's most comprehensive and broadly based manufacturer of healthcare products.
ETHICON enjoys a reputation for developing quality products to enhance the lives of patients and for providing outstanding service to customers. Headquartered in Somerville, New Jersey, ETHICON presently conducts business in 50 countries and employs approximately 9,000 employees in its various worldwide locations.
