Johnson Controls, Simplex announce building system alliance
An alliance between Johnson Controls (Milwaukee) and Simplex (Gardner, Mass.) will offer integrated building systems to customers across the globe. The agreement brings together Johnson Controls' Metasys Building Automation System, which controls heating, ventilating, air conditioning, security and access control systems, and Simplex's fire detection and alarm systems.
Johnson Controls will handle customer requests for packaged building controls and fire alarm system solutions, while Simplex will design, manufacture and deliver the fire system portion.
