About Johnson Controls International plc
After Johnson Controls divested its residential and light commercial HVAC businesses to Bosch in 2025, nearly all of its revenue comes from commercial HVAC (60%) and fire and security products and services (40%). A 2016 merger combined its HVAC operations with Tyco's fire and security businesses on the premise of synergy in offering a broader range of automation products and solutions to commercial buildings. Its pro forma revenue mix is estimated at one-third products, one-third installation, and one-third services.
