Johnson Controls And Its Partners Rank Highest In Automotive Seating Industry With Six J.D. Power 2014 Overall Satisfaction Awards

The company received six awards overall, three for Johnson Controls and three for its joint venture partners Avanzar Interior Technologies Ltd. and Bridgewater Interiors.

PLYMOUTH, Mich. – Johnson Controls was recently recognized in the J.D. Power 2014 Seat Quality and Satisfaction Study as the supplier providing the highest-quality seats in three out of seven vehicle segments – Luxury SUV, Mass Market Truck / Van and Mass Market Midsize/Large SUVs.
 
The company received six awards overall, three for Johnson Controls and three for its joint venture partners Avanzar Interior Technologies Ltd. and Bridgewater Interiors.
 
"These awards demonstrate that our team at Johnson Controls is committed to providing automakers and their customers with the highest-quality seating products," said Byron Foster, group vice president and general manager, Customer Groups and Strategy for Johnson Controls Automotive Seating.
 
In the Luxury SUV segment, Johnson Controls, a global multi-industrial company, supplies the study’s highest-ranking seats for the Land Rover Evoque and the Porsche Cayenne.
 
Johnson Controls also ranked highest in a tie in the Mass Market Truck/Van segment with the seats it provides for the Ford F-150 Light Duty and the F-250/350 Super Duty trucks.
 
In the Mass Market Midsize/Large SUV segment, Johnson Controls ranked highest in the segment for Honda Pilot seats manufactured by Bridgewater Interiors in Oxford, Ala.
 
The 2014 J.D. Power Seat Quality and Satisfaction Study provides automotive manufacturers and suppliers with quality and satisfaction information related to automotive seating systems. New vehicle owners are asked to rate the quality of their vehicle’s seats and seat belts based on whether or not they experienced defects/malfunctions or design problems during the first 90 days of ownership.
 
The study is based on responses from more than 86,000 purchasers and lessees of new 2014 model-year cars and light trucks. The study was conducted between February and May 2014.
