Johnson Controls International plc has completed the sale of its Residential and Light Commercial (R&LC) HVAC business in an all-cash transaction to the Bosch Group. As part of this transaction, Bosch also intends to acquire 100% of the Johnson Controls-Hitachi Air Conditioning (JCH) joint venture, including Hitachi’s 40% stake. The Bosch shareholders and supervisory board have approved the transaction. The acquisition is expected to be closed in approximately 12 months.
The transaction includes 16 manufacturing sites and 12 engineering locations in more than 30 countries. The product portfolio covers the entire spectrum of HVAC solutions for residential and light commercial buildings, and includes well-known brands such as York and Coleman in the U.S. and Hitachi in Asia, for which Bosch will be granted a long-term license.
Bosch intends to integrate the acquired businesses into the Home Comfort Group.
