Johnson Controls Reorganizes Its Building Efficiency Business - Quick Facts

(RTTNews) - Auto parts supplier Johnson Controls (JCI) Monday announced a significant reorganization of its Building Efficiency business to better align the division with the company's long-term strategies and to position it for profitable global growth.

Dave Myers, president of Building Efficiency, has resigned and is leaving the company to pursue other interests.

Effective immediately, the North America branch business will be operating separately from Building Efficiency's global products business. The core heating, ventilation and air conditioning or HVAC products organization will drive profitable global growth through investments in key HVAC product offerings like the recent acquisition of Air Distribution Technologies and the planned Hitachi joint venture for variable refrigerant flow technology.

According to the company, this focus on product offerings, manufacturing, supply chain, and channel support for distribution will drive operational excellence through efficient and cost effective operations designed to serve the changing global marketplace.

Bill Jackson, who most recently served as executive vice president, Corporate Development, will immediately transition into the role of president, Building Efficiency.

The North America branch business will continue to operate in its current form as a direct channel providing HVAC systems, services and solutions to customers in more than 120 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The restructuring of Building Efficiency will enable the organization to enhance its focus on customers through increased attention and investment in its North American branches.

Trent Nevill, vice president and general manager of the North American branch business, will continue in his current role and report on an interim basis to Molinaroli.
