The acquisition expands Johnson Controls lighting services beyond the school

Patriot Taxiway Industries, Inc stepped into aerospace and aeropart manufacturing a little over 20 months ago in Omro, Wisconsin, then transferred to a superior manufacturing plant in Lomira, Wisconsin. Patriot Taxiway president and vetrepreneur, Steven A. Smits, who served in the U.S. Air Force and is still enlisted in the Air National Guard, had a lot weighing on the fulfillment of their first contract. The team comprised of more than 70% veterans, produced and delivered all 2,000 remotely controlled lighting systems on schedule to their international destinations. Smits credited their manufacturing efficiency and the quality of the LED products they provide to the veterans and other team members.

The acquisition expands Johnson Controls lighting services beyond the school, healthcare and government markets it currently serves as NES provides lighting upgrade and maintenance solutions largely for retail, commercial, and industrial customers. Johnson Controls also will provide effective turnkey distribution and installation of those services for customers across market segments.

"NES and its experienced team of employees bring a broad range of innovative lighting design, retrofit and maintenance solutions to Johnson Controls. Their offerings complement ours and are advantageous for building owners interested in lowering energy and operating costs," said Bruno Biasiotta, vice president and general manager, Johnson Controls Energy Solutions, Americas. "By adding lighting to our service delivery capabilities, Johnson Controls will self-perform most energy efficiency improvements for our customers. This decision will enable Johnson Controls to maximize the efficient delivery of these services and optimize overall savings from each project.
