Global Leadership

While the world marveled at personal computers, mobile phones and the Internet, Johnson Controls began an era of exceptional growth, adding business operations and customers all over the globe. 

In 1990, the company introduced the breakthrough Metasys® building management system, created by a team from the U.S., Japan, India, Germany and Canada. Metasys integrates management of a building’s environment, energy use, lighting, fire safety and security, and today offers Web and wireless capabilities. In 2005, Building Efficiency doubled in size when it acquired York International. Today, Johnson Controls is a leading provider of equipment and controls for heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigeration, as well as security systems for buildings. 

Meanwhile, Automotive Experience evolved from producing components, to seating systems, to cockpit modules, to complete interiors—greatly expanding the business in 1996 with the acquisition of Prince Automotive. By 2000, Johnson Controls was providing seating, overhead systems, electronics and door systems for 35 million vehicles a year. Emerging and expanding markets in Europe and joint ventures in China fueled growth at the end of the decade. 

True to its core values, Johnson Controls also emphasizes environmental stewardship, diversity and community support. Through a building retrofit, the company’s Corporate and Power Solutions headquarters in Glendale showcases the energy-efficient and sustainable building products and services we provide to customers, with the goal of becoming the world’s first LEED platinum-rated campus.
