Johnson Controls, Inc. is a diversified company made up of two main business groups: automotive systems, including seating, overhead and instrument panels, floor consoles, door systems, engine electronics, and batteries; and building management and control systems. Johnson is the world's largest independent maker of automotive seating and interior systems, and is the leading supplier of automotive batteries for the original equipment and replacement markets in North America, South America, and Europe. The company is number one worldwide in building control systems, services, and integrated facility management, serving schools, hospitals, office buildings, airports, and other nonresidential buildings. The Automotive Systems Group generates nearly three-fourths of overall revenues, with the Controls Group responsible for the remainder. The percentage of sales generated outside North America has been on the rise, reaching about 40 percent. Over the course of more than a century, Johnson Controls has an impressive track record, including the consecutive payment of dividends since 1885 and 57 straight years of sales increases through 2003.
