OUR HISTORY

In 1885, long before anyone talks about carbon footprints or climate change, Warren Johnson launches a company to explore new ways to harness and conserve precious energy resources. In doing so, he also launches a tradition of customer-focused innovation—a tradition that has inspired thousands of employees for more than 130 years and that continues to drive the success of Johnson Controls. Even before he founds the firm now known as Johnson Controls, Warren Johnson is the quintessential inventor. His pneumatic tower clocks, electric storage batteries, wireless telegraph business and steam-powered luxury cars and postal service trucks anticipate—and shape—the future.

Johnson Electric Service Company helps Miller Brewing get tanked

A Johnson Electric Service Company (todays Johnson Controls) sales contract ledger entry from May 11, 1901 indicates a sale of two pasteurizing tanks to Miller Brewing Company of Milwaukee.  Although Johnson Controls  history is generally associated with temperature regulation systems and devices, Company founder Professor Warren Johnsons laboratory spawned a variety of products sold by the Company in its early years, including springless door locks, chandeliers, puncture-proof tires and yes, pasteurizing tanks, too.  The contract book also notes that Miller paid $380 for the tanks and some extras in August of the same year.  The Miller Brewing Company was founded in Milwaukee by Frederick Miller in 1855 - making it one of the oldest businesses in Wisconsin (and thirty years older than Johnson Controls).  Miller Brewing is now owned by Molson Coors.

Unlock the Power of Building Data With Artificial Intelligence

More and more, building systems are data-enabled and connected to the web. At Johnson Controls, we are partnering with visionary organizations to build the first smart buildings enabled by artificial intelligence and IoT (Internet of Things). We help enterprises put their building data to work, helping facilities managers discover insights, find efficiencies, and create other sources of value, chief among them sustainability.  Johnson Controls is at the forefront of smart facilities with solutions that span your enterprise and offer a wealth of potential benefits. These next-generation smart buildings have unique characteristics that unlock new possibilities for how building occupants—employees and visitors, doctors and patients, or teams and fans—interact with their environment. In partnership with our customers, we are creating the self-conscious, self-healing, and occupant-driven building.
