[Edit this paragraph] Johnson Controls in China
As China's economic development accelerates, intelligent buildings are rapidly rising across China's vast land. Currently, half of the smart buildings under construction in the world are in China, which is a market full of opportunities and challenges. Johnson Controls was the first to introduce smart buildings and weak current general contracting to China; it is also Johnson Controls that undertakes the most smart building projects in China; and it is Johnson Controls that currently has the highest technical level in the field of building automation management. Johnson Controls has gradually entered the huge Chinese market.
Johnson Controls entered the Chinese market in the early 1980s.
Its representative projects include: Beijing Development Building Building Automation System; with a construction area of ??185,000 square meters, it is currently the Shanghai shopping mall with the largest construction area in East China; Shanghai Securities Building with the most comprehensive weak current system function in China; Guangdong International, the earliest high-rise intelligent building in South China Building; the tallest building in South China, Guangzhou Zhongtian Plaza with fully intelligent, networked automatic fire alarm and control system; China's largest intelligent building complex, Beijing Henderson Center with a construction area of ??280,000 square meters; Pinghetang Commercial Building in Changsha, Hunan Square building automatic control system, with a construction area of ??100,000 square meters.
Over the past eighteen years, Johnson Controls has worked hard to introduce the world's most advanced smart building technology to China, and has achieved success along with China's economic development. Johnson Controls International has established its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Hong Kong, and has opened three branches in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing, as well as more than a dozen offices and agents in Guangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, etc. in mainland China. In 1996, Johnson Controls' turnover in China reached 300 million yuan.
Beijing is the center of China’s politics, economy, and culture, with advantages in talent and information. Johnson Controls’ establishment of a branch in Beijing not only strengthens cooperation with China’s technical talents and government departments, but also uses Beijing’s As a window, it quickly radiates to all parts of the country.
As the leader of China's economy, Shanghai's construction speed ranks the highest in the country. In particular, the development of Pudong and the renovation of Puxi have led to the rapid rise of smart buildings. Johnson Controls took this point in mind and promptly opened a branch in Shanghai in order to base itself in Shanghai, radiate to East China, and apply the latest technology and the best services to China's modern buildings.
Adjacent to Hong Kong, Shenzhen is at the forefront of China's reform and opening up and is also the vanguard of China's intelligent building development. Johnson Controls International was the first to apply the world's advanced smart building technology to Shenzhen, China, and gradually established a center that can quickly and comprehensively improve sales and provide technical services and training for major projects in China.
In recent years, Johnson Controls has established the principle of vigorously entering the Chinese market and striving for localization in order to actively explore the Chinese market and fully adapt to the needs of China's reform and opening up. A series of measures have been adopted, including system design in line with Chinese characteristics, fully Chinese-language software interfaces, gathering a large number of backbones with rich engineering experience in Asia to introduce advanced foreign technologies, and actively promoting localization policies. Johnson Controls' advanced technology, engineering experience and comprehensive services have been welcomed by the Chinese market, and its sales volume of intelligent fire automatic alarm probes ranks first in China.
There are three reasons for Johnson Controls' rapid development in the Chinese market, which are also the three pillars of Johnson Controls' development in the Chinese market. First: Self-sufficiency in products and quality assurance; Second: Strong technical force, with a technical team including foreign employees and local employees. There are 100 engineer teams in Beijing and Shanghai each, and 60 engineers in Shenzhen, as well as in other parts of the country. Sufficient technical strength supports the completion of the project; third: Johnson Controls attaches great importance to meeting customer needs. Have long-term intentions for customers, ensure system opening, and have good after-sales service. These three points are exactly what customers in the Chinese market need.
At present, in addition to carefully designing and constructing contracted projects, Johnson Controls is also actively participating in the bidding of a number of projects in China, and is working hard to strengthen cooperation with academic groups and construction companies such as China's "Intelligent Building" Technical exchanges and cooperation with peers to assist design institutes in their designs. It is believed that with the further development of the Chinese market and cooperation with Chinese parties, Johnson Controls will further promote the development of China's intelligent building technology and make greater contributions to energy conservation, environmental control and equipment automation management of buildings. .

[Edit this paragraph] Company development history
Johnson Controls was founded in 1883 by high school teacher Warren Samuel Johnson and hotel owner William Plankinton. The Milwaukee Electric Company founded by Professor Warren Johnson specializes in the Johnson electronic temperature control system invented and patented by Professor Warren Johnson. In 1885, the company was reorganized into the Johnson Electrical Service Company, with Prandolton as president and Johnson as vice president and treasurer. At the same time, Johnson continued to engage in inventive activities and successively invented the chandelier, the reedless door lock, and the anti-jam door lock. Tires, thermometers and hose systems that supply steam heating to passenger trains. Among them, the tower clock invented in 1895 made the company famous. In 1901, the company's board of directors elected Johnson as the company's president. In 1902, the company was renamed Johnson Service Company. By the time Johnson died in 1911, he held more than 50 patents, most related to the company's development.
In 1912, Harry W. Ellis became president and decided to concentrate on the development of the power control business and sell off all other businesses. He improved the efficiency of the Milwaukee factory and introduced a modern accounting system. Eighteen branches were established across the country, and the construction boom of the 1920s led to rapid expansion, and in 1928 the company secured new contracts worth $4 million. During the Great Crisis of the 1930s, the company developed an economical automatic temperature control system to adapt to the economic situation at that time. After the United States entered World War II, the company, as a military supplies manufacturer, began to install humidity-temperature control systems for defense facilities and produce moisture-proof products. Detector, used to detect air leakage in anti-aircraft balloons used in military facilities, warships and landing barges.
After World War II, with the prosperity of the civil construction market, the company's business prospered again, and air conditioning became a new consumer hotspot. By 1949, the company's annual sales reached $10 million.
From the early 1960s, the company began to expand in the international and domestic markets at the same time, establishing more multinational operating agencies, establishing an international branch in 1960, and a system responsible for military contracts in 1961. Engineering and Construction Division (provides equipment for the Air Force's 57 Titam II launch facilities and most other missile programs, and NASA also ordered missile control instruments for the Apollo lunar landings from the company).
In order to adapt to the major changes brought about by the development of computers and improve the functions of its indoor electronic facilities, the company purchased the electronics division of Fischback and Moore in 1963. In 1968, the company purchased Paine Controls, a 50-year-old company, has grown its annual sales by about 20% to $155 million. By 1977, it had controlled about 35% of the $600 million commercial building control system market, with 114 branches and 300 service centers in the United States and Canada, and the company's annual sales were nearly $500 million. At the same time, in order to expand the company's market base, the company merged with Global Unified Corporation, the largest automotive battery manufacturer in the United States, in 1978, thus doubling the company's annual sales to more than 1 billion US dollars.
In the 1980s, in addition to continuing to develop traditional businesses, the company also took the lead in developing intelligent buildings and has remained in the leading position. In mid-1989, the company purchased Pan American World Services. Since the 1990s, the company has further expanded. Stepping forward in the new century, the company is working hard towards new goals!
