Johnson Controls Completes Purchase of Air Distribution Technologies

MILWAUKEE, Wis. — The acquisition of Air Distribution Technologies by Johnson Controls for $1.6 billion is now complete. Johnson Controls, a global multi-industrial company, announced in April its intention to acquire Air Distribution Technologies, one of the largest and strongest independent providers of air distribution and ventilation products in North America.
