Johnson Controls is celebrating 140 years of achievements and industry firsts.
Since its founding in 1885, Johnson Controls has continuously improved the built environment, delivering the first automatic sprinkler and then the first room thermostat shortly thereafter. Today, Johnson Controls is serving customers throughout the building lifecycle with a large portfolio of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment and controls, coupled with a robust fire protection and smart security portfolio.

Johnson Controls has grown its portfolio of nearly 8,000 patents and billions of dollars invested in engineering, research, and development significantly in recent years. While portions of the business have been around longer, with its Grinnell and York brands celebrating more than 150 years in existence, the company is united in its inventive spirit and end-to-end partnership with customers.
"This year marks a very special milestone for Johnson Controls, our 140th anniversary. And this anniversary is a chance for us to reflect on our journey. We are humbled by and grateful for those who came before us and feel the responsibility to forge ahead, accelerate solving our customers' problems, and find new and better ways to advance technologies to make a difference," said Johnson Controls CEO Joakim Weidemanis. "It's no doubt the secret to our longstanding success is our talented teams around the world, and I thank our employees, customers, and partners for their role in helping us reach this exciting milestone. As we celebrate what we've accomplished, we're also excited about the future. We feel like we have just gotten started. We are ready to accelerate our technology-based innovation and continuous improvement together with our customers to keep transforming our industry for the next 140 years."
