ABB and Johnson Controls on March 4 announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to intensify collaboration of their market-leading offerings for the commercial and industrial facility market in Singapore.
The partnership will leverage ABB’s strength in electrical distribution and building automation and Johnson Controls’ expertise in efficient building heating, ventilation, air conditioning and control systems. Customers will receive enhanced levels of cost effectiveness, responsiveness and simplicity.
The agreement is the latest development in the long-standing relationship between ABB and Johnson Controls and will provide customers with a unique and expanded product portfolio in a number of important sectors including data centers, oil and gas, commercial, pharmaceutical and manufacturing. Customers will have access to a complete service offering that includes lifecycle management, operational efficiency and performance improvement.
The partnership will also see customers benefit from ABB and Johnson Controls experience in the local market, and their proven track record. The companies, both industry leaders in their respective fields, have worked on a number of iconic projects around the world including the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Shanghai World Financial Center.
