Johnson Controls acquired York International Unitary Products Group (UPG). No need to get your eyes checked. It's true. On Aug. 24, 2005, Johnson Controls purchased York for $3.2 billion dollars. "You could say we were surprised," said one York official at the initial announcement, who asked not to be identified. "However, the general mood is that this will be an excellent fit. Johnson Controls is a very strong company and York will give them an air conditioning division, which they've never had. Change, as you know, is inevitable, and as company sales go, this should be good for all parties concerned."
