Automotive Supplier Johnson Controls Named to InformationWeek's 'Innovation 100' List

PLYMOUTH, Mich. -- Automotive interior supplier Johnson Controls has been named to the first "Innovation 100" list compiled by InformationWeek magazine and Cap Gemini Ernst & Young. The list -- called the Innovation 100: The Customer -- identifies and ranks today's top 100 companies for their successful use of Information Technology to serve customers. Johnson Controls was the only automotive supplier to appear among the Innovation 100 companies.

"Being recognized on the Innovation 100 list is a great reaffirmation of Johnson Controls' values and business vision," said Michael Suman, the company's group vice president for e-business and marketing. "Exceeding customer expectations is a key corporate value, and we are committed to fulfilling this value by applying the most advanced electronic tools available."

Johnson Controls is a major, global supplier of automotive interior systems, including seats, overhead systems, door panels, floor consoles, electronics and other systems and components.

The Innovation 100: The Customer rankings, and related stories, were published in the December 11, 2000 edition of InformationWeek magazine.

Johnson Controls ranked 54th on the list, and was recognized for developing a system in which requests for parts under warranty automatically generate billing paperwork. Two other automotive companies were ranked among the Innovation 100 -- Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America (number 34) and Subaru of America Inc. (number 42). Both of these firms market and distribute vehicles in the United States.
