江森自控（Johnson Controls）

????底特律三巨頭曝光率極高,，但汽車廠商背后的制造商呢？來了解一下江森自控吧,。這家公司在汽車這個消費者導向的行業(yè)里做出了巨大的貢獻,，但卻寂寂無聞。

????江森自控生產(chǎn)利潤極高的泡沫座椅,，使人們能夠舒適地駕車,。作為全球最大的“座椅方案”供應(yīng)商，江森自控2012年在這一領(lǐng)域的年銷售額高達155億美元,。此外,，它還生產(chǎn)建筑業(yè)用品，如供暖,、空調(diào),、通風及安防系統(tǒng)。

????自創(chuàng)立以來,，江森自控大幅擴展了業(yè)務(wù)范圍,。沃倫?江森是首個配電房恒溫器發(fā)明者,，在1885年創(chuàng)立江森自控專營這一發(fā)明。江森自控也是首個營銷混合動力車用鋰離子電池的公司,，目前是最大的車輛電池技術(shù)供應(yīng)商,。此外，它還生產(chǎn)駕駛員信息顯示屏,、副儀表盤以及開車庫門的車載遙控器,。

Johnson Controls

????The Big 3 carmakers get plenty of press, but what about the carmaker makers? Enter Johnson Controls, a deceptively under-recognized name for its contribution to one of the most consumer-focused industries.

????Johnson Controls (JCI, Fortune 500)makes much of that cushy seat-foam that lets you ride in cars in comfort. The company is the world's largest supplier of "seating solutions," a segment that pulled in $15.5 billion in sales for the company in 2012. Johnson Controls also makes products tagged to the construction industry such as heating, air-conditioning, ventilating and security systems.

????The company has broadened its reach well beyond its roots. In 1885, Warren Johnson, developer of the first electric room thermostat, founded Johnson Controls to sell his invention. Johnson Controls was also first to market with lithium ion batteries for hybrid cars, and is currently the biggest supplier for battery technology for vehicles. It also makes driver information display panels, floor consoles and those garage-door clickers that are integrated to the interior of the car.
