A top high-quality car parts supplier

The Johnson Controls Company is amongst the top automotive OES companies. It has been offering car supplies and parts, plus truck parts, for the global market for decades. The firm was established back in 1885. It originated in the USA, Wisconsin to be specific, where the main headquarters is located today. Even though it established in the USA, Johnson is linked to the top suppliers for the global automotive market. Moreover the company had several annual reports which made it clear that exports of its products had much greater profits than that from local sales in the USA.

A brief history

At the beginning of its establishment, the firm included in its sphere many areas such electric storage batteries, steam and gas powered automobiles, as well as wireless telegraph communication and huge pneumatic clock towers. However, when in 1911 the founder, Professor Johnson, died, the company entirely transformed its production.

Thus, the main manufacturing focus became temperature control systems for non-residential buildings. After 1950 it began a tough program to get its final result – the Pneumatic Control Centre, which gives a chance for monitoring and operating all temperature control devices from a single point. Later, in the 80s, the company made a decision to adopt the JC85 – digital control technology.

Then, in the 1990s, it became the pioneer in using control devices which allow different consumers to share data directly.

All of these along with many other achievements have made it a large competitor for all the global automotive OES suppliers. The new millennium, though, has brought even more gains for the company, turning it into a major car player competing with strong brands like Denso.

In 2008, the firm invented and put into use PWI Energy (energy management consulting and software services). The same year also brought the Gridlogix (building automation integration) to the world.

In 2009, the group participated in the creation of the world's highest tower – the remarkable Burj Khalifa in the United Arab Emirates. Later, in 2010, it anticipated the building of the world's biggest hospital (Kalifa Hospital). In 2013 the company chose its CEO – Alex Molinaroli, who has already made great plans for the firm’s future.

A leading position in the market

The firm’s automotive experience is vast, dynamic, and represents its leading positions on the market. The firm is a top supplier for car seating, interiors, and electronics. Today, Johnson works with the largest automakers by providing them top high-quality car parts and truck components.

In addition to this, the company is superb in digital instrument clusters, as well as tracks, structures, foam, fabrics, and trims, plus infotainment systems and hands-free electronics.

Bringing together rich experience and professional automotive supplying work, it has crystallized into a real leader with a long story and a very short way to become the top player in its sphere.
