## Story

Johnson Controls, a provider of fire and security services, HVAC equipment and controls and full building automation systems, has recognized Batteries Plus for three primary reasons – service excellence, product portfolio and sustainability.

“Batteries Plus offers support and expertise to our many commercial customers. This award is a great recognition of the important work that goes into providing the best power and lighting solutions, as well as the strategy involved in aligning our services to fit Johnson Controls’ key initiatives,” said Batteries Plus’s Chief Commercial Officer Scott O’Farrell.

The official award presentation letter from Johnson Controls reads, “[Batteries Plus] demonstrated consistent performance in continuous improvement, customer satisfaction, global growth, innovation, quality, shareholder value and sustainability. Achieving this award in normal times is a significant accomplishment, but doing so with excellence during the many issues created during the pandemic is even more impressive.”

With ongoing supply chain constraints and the cost of labor, Batteries Plus and their locations have given Johnson Controls the agility and flexibility to get batteries just in time – allowing them to complete repairs for their own customers the same day. Many Batteries Plus locations also offer or will soon offer Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) programs, which allow commercial customers to set minimum or maximum order levels to improve efficiency and ensure a level inventory.

Batteries Plus’s specialty product line offers high-rated solutions that provide convenient access to diverse and hard-to-find products so that Johnson Controls can better serve their customers, such as their line of SLA batteries that are unparalleled to any of their competitors.

Meanwhile, green initiatives and sustainability are a shared value of both brands. With Batteries Plus’s recycling program, they’ve been able to help Johnson Controls provide more eco-friendly solutions.
