Johnson Controls acquires Password Services

UK: Johnson Controls has acquired Password Services Air Conditioning Lyd, a specialist Worcestershire-based HVAC service and solutions provider.

Established in 1998, Password Services provides an extensive range of HVAC services and installations. Specialising in roof top air conditioning within the hospitality sector, the company has been a distributor and partner for the Johnson Controls’ York equipment brand for more than 20 years.
