Johnson Controls, a leader in delivering products, services and solutions that increase energy efficiency in buildings, is delivering ‘essential products, services and personnel’ during the Covid-19 pandemic, said its top official.
“At times like these, it is critically important to reach out and let people know that we are here and that we continue to help hospitals, pharmacies and other essential businesses as needed to continue their operations,” remarked Chairman and CEO, George Oliver.
The company first responded to the developing crisis in Wuhan, China where its local personnel immediately worked to fulfil the urgent need for new hospitals, stated Oliver.
As the crisis evolved, Johnson Controls implemented local and regional contingency plans across the globe assuring employee safety and customer support, he added.
Among the critical building infrastructure offerings Johnson Controls is providing are:
HVAC - Essential to hospitals and operating rooms and necessary to continue to run almost all of the critical infrastructure sectors. Properly ventilated buildings are critical to improve air quality and prevent the spread of disease.
Industrial refrigeration - The equipment is essential in many critical industries, from food and beverage processing to the petrochemical industries.
Security - Security systems are even more critical now to ensure essential facilities are safe and secure. Security cameras, access control and other security systems are vital to protect people and infrastructure.
Fire – Fire systems and services must be maintained to keep people and property safe, from fire detection products through sprinkler systems and portable fire extinguishing equipment.
Johnson Controls service teams continues to support critical infrastructure while the company’s offices, branches and manufacturing facilities remain open and operational with increased sanitation practices and restricted visitor policies, except where prohibited by law.
The company is also recognised by the US Department of Homeland Security as a critical manufacturer, remarked Oliver.
“As a global company, we have been addressing this crisis from the very start and we are proud of our frontline leadership responding in every corner of the world to support our customers,” said the top official.
"These are tough times, but the notes from first responders, nurses and all those serving on the frontline are extremely motivating. In periods of crisis there are always stories of incredible resilience," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
