As Johnson Controls celebrates 140 years globally, 2025 also marks 30 years since it began its journey in India, a milestone shaped by innovation, purpose, and people. From pioneering smart building solutions to supporting mission-critical sectors like healthcare, airports, and data centers, Johnson Controls India has grown into a trusted partner for progress. With more than 8,500 employees and a strong network of engineering centers, manufacturing sites, and OpenBlue Innovation Hubs, the company continues to empower India’s infrastructure story, building smarter, safer, and more sustainable environments for generations to come.
Johnson Controls continues to innovate with its ever-growing portfolio of more than 8,000 patents and billions of dollars invested in engineering, research and development 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. From original engineering and design of equipment to installation, service and ultimately replacement and upgrade, Johnson Controls is about trust and deep commitment to 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, continue 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.”
“As we celebrate 140 years of Johnson Controls globally, we’re equally proud of the role India has played in that journey since we established operations here in 1995,” said Arun Awasthy, President & Managing Director, Johnson Controls India. “Over the past three decades, India has contributed engineering expertise, innovation, and on-the-ground execution to some of the most complex building solutions across critical sectors. This milestone reaffirms our commitment to shaping a smarter, more sustainable future — not just for India, but as part of a connected world.”
Looking ahead, Johnson Controls has a more simplified portfolio serving customers over the lifecycle of a building. Combined with world-class service teams reaching more than four million customers anywhere and at any time, our customers are saving money, energy and their own time. The portfolio is further enabled by digital by integrating IoT while connecting equipment, harnessing award-winning AI and machine learning, and offering enhanced real-time analytics – making buildings smarter than ever before.
