Milwaukee (ots) -

Clarios, formerly Johnson Controls Power Solutions, today launches
as a new entity and world leader in advanced energy storage
solutions. Clarios was acquired by Brookfield Business Partners and
operates as a global energy storage business generating $8 billion in
revenues with more than 16,000 employees, 56 facilities worldwide and
130 years of expertise. Clarios will build on its leading position in
vehicle battery technologies - producing one-third of the industry's
total output per year - while more aggressively exploring ways to
meet the fast-growing energy storage needs of tomorrow.

"At Clarios our vision is to power progress by creating the
world's smartest energy storage solutions that benefit people,
business, and the planet," said Joe Walicki, president, Clarios. "As
a global leader with a product used in virtually every vehicle from
conventional to fully electric, we are well positioned to capitalize
on market trends, including a move toward more electrified and
autonomous vehicles which are elevating the critical role of the
battery and accelerating the need for more advanced batteries. Under
Brookfield's ownership, we can better capitalize on these growing
trends and operate with more focus and efficiency."

Clarios will continue to provide the highest quality products and
service to the world's leading companies and brands. These customers
rely on Clarios to deliver smart battery technologies manufactured
based on the company's unique mix of insights, applied engineering
and superior product design. Battery technology has become
increasingly important because today's vehicles house more than a
hundred electrified devices to support original equipment and
consumer demands for safety, fuel economy, comfort and
sustainability. In addition, with the growing shift toward more
autonomous vehicles, advanced safety features will become even more
critical, requiring a proven, reliable energy storage solution.
Clarios will be investing in the people, process and technologies
that help meet these growing demands and power even greater mobility
and connectivity in the future.

Clarios will build on decades of leadership in the circular
economy where it designs, builds, recovers and recycles batteries to
help create a more efficient and sustainable approach to energy
storage. Clarios batteries are designed and made so up to 99% of the
materials can be recovered and reused in the new batteries we make.
Through innovative collaboration with the company's customers and
partners, Clarios has pioneered a closed-loop collection system that
is a model for the circular economy that it continues to share across
the globe.

The company will maintain its current global manufacturing and
operations footprint, including its corporate headquarters in
Glendale, Wisconsin.
