SHANGHAI, CHINA – March 5, 2014 – Johnson Controls, a global multi-industrial company with established core businesses in the automotive, building and energy storage industries, has been recognized as a top supplier in China. Three major automakers recently honored the world’s largest manufacturer of automotive batteries with top awards for service and battery quality.
In January 2014, Johnson Controls received GAC-Honda Automotive Company’s 2013 Supply Guarantee Award for meeting customer demand for batteries. Also last month, BYD Automotive honored Johnson Controls with the top award for Excellent After Sales Service at its car dealerships.
“We are honored to receive these awards and we’d like to thank our customers for recognition of our products and services, as well as our employees for their dedication to making quality products,” said Kenneth Yeng, vice president and general manager of Power Solutions China, Johnson Controls.
Johnson Controls was also the only battery manufacturer to receive Zhejiang Geely Holding Company’s top award as an Annual Excellent Supplier in November, 2013 for quality products and excellent customer support.
“Johnson Controls has a diverse automotive battery product portfolio to support our customers’ needs, and the company remains committed to bringing advanced technologies and quality batteries to Chinese automakers to support this important industry,” said Yeng.
As the global leader in automotive batteries, Johnson Controls Power Solutions entered the Chinese market in 2005 and continues to invest in bringing advanced technologies, capacity and technical capabilities to the country- especially as automakers strive to meet more stringent fuel efficiency standards. Today, the company employs more than 1,300 people at our China headquarters in Shanghai, manufacturing plants in Changxing and Chongqing, as well as the Shanghai Eureka Battery Technology Center and Test Facility.
In 2014, Johnson Controls was honored as a "Top Employer" in China by the Top Employers Institute (formerly referred to as the Corporate Research Foundation Institute) for achieving the highest standard of excellence in HR strategy, policy, implementation, monitoring and communication of employee development. Johnson Controls was one of only 41 companies to receive the award this year.
