Overview

Johnson Controls International is an American Irish-domiciled multinational conglomerate headquartered in Cork, Ireland, and founded in 1992. The company produces fire, HVAC, and security equipment for buildings. As of mid-2019, it employed 105,000 people in around 2,000 locations across six continents. The company was formed via the merger of American company Johnson Controls with Tyco International, announced on 25 January 2016. The merger led to the avoidance of taxation on foreign market operations and a financial windfall for the CEO of Johnson Controls at that time, Alex Molinaroli. Johnson Controls is a world leader in smart buildings, creating safe, healthy, and sustainable spaces. For nearly 140 years, the company has made buildings better and now they are transforming them again with its award-winning digital technologies and services. The company is using artificial intelligence and data-driven solutions to give deeper insight into the building’s health, sustainability, and performance. The company delivers the blueprint of the future for industries such as healthcare, schools, data centers, airports, stadiums, hotels, manufacturing, and beyond through OpenBlue, the company’s comprehensive suite of connected solutions.
