## Business segments

Johnson Controls International plc officially reports four segments: Building Solutions North America, which operates in the United States and Canada; Building Solutions EMEA/LA, which operates in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America; Building Solutions Asia Pacific, which operates in Asia Pacific; and Global Products, which operates worldwide. [4](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-669468c16dd1437da868a5ad6d54af75)[5](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-10e6026970754de89ce0dbaafdbcd9f8)[6](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-681273a985574e688764f1179bd83adf)[7](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-3bace8118812497baaba0ac417eac480)

The three regional Building Solutions segments share the same core focus: designing, selling, installing and servicing HVAC, controls, building management, refrigeration, integrated electronic security, and integrated fire-detection and suppression systems, along with energy-efficiency solutions, technical services, smart-building solutions, inspection, scheduled maintenance, and repair and replacement services. [15](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-a3001ced93134cc886207c417e25d6e7)[36](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-99555d50e92845229ad25165a6b263aa) Global Products is the manufacturing- and product-led segment, focused on HVAC equipment and controls software, refrigeration equipment and controls, fire protection and suppression, and security products such as intrusion, access control, and video surveillance systems. [11](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-b24c3cbce6864e84942a5bf4355852cb)[12](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-f0a3a392e82545a8b32fbcb6bddfb0a0)[13](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-9d0845ba1943401fac767a9038883ded)[14](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-88aa9ecdb8ab49c99cf49511641bc7e2)

Based on fiscal 2024 net sales, Building Solutions North America contributed about 49% of revenue, Building Solutions EMEA/LA about 19%, Building Solutions Asia Pacific about 10%, and Global Products about 22%, from reported segment sales of $11.348 billion, $4.296 billion, $2.237 billion, and $5.071 billion, respectively, out of total net sales of $22.952 billion.

## Company history

Johnson Controls’ origins trace to inventor Warren S. Johnson’s 1883 patent for an electric room thermostat, followed by the formation of Johnson Electric Service Company on April 20, 1885 by Johnson, William Plankinton and Irving M. Bean. The business was established to manufacture and service automatic temperature-regulation systems for buildings, and it was later renamed Johnson Controls, Inc. in 1974.[38](https://www.johnsoncontrols.com/about-us/history/135th-anniversary)[39](https://www.johnsoncontrols.com/building-insights/2025/history/this-month-in-history-april-2025)[40](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-fd2fa39c156c4f68b51c5facc712db96)

In the late 20th century, the company diversified beyond building controls. Johnson Controls acquired Globe-Union in 1978, marking its move into the battery business, and in 1985 it acquired Hoover Universal, which made it the leading independent manufacturer of seating for cars and light trucks.[41](https://www.johnsoncontrols.com/building-insights/2022/history/this-month-in-history-april-2022)[42](https://www.johnsoncontrols.com/building-insights/2024/history/this-month-in-history-may-2024) A major expansion in building systems came with the 2005 acquisition of York International, and in 2016 Johnson Controls combined with Tyco International; after that merger, Tyco adopted the name Johnson Controls International plc.[40](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-fd2fa39c156c4f68b51c5facc712db96)

The company then simplified its portfolio. In 2016 it spun off its automotive business as Adient plc, and in 2019 it sold its Power Solutions business, completing its transformation away from the automotive and battery operations it had built over previous decades.[43](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-ac41f1558b88434f9dfaa5c214eac23d)
