Comparison to Jenco Vessels

The 1975 Coincidence
Plant I allegedly opened in March 1975This is notable because:
- 14 years AFTER J&J acquisition (1961)
- The company had been "operating" for 22 years before building its first plant?
- QRS N.V. (Janssen family holding) was founded December 22, 1973 - just 15 months before Plant I
Question:
If Janssen Pharmaceutica was a successful pharmaceutical company since 1953, why did it take until 1975 to build its first manufacturing plant?
