Johnson Controls Signs Facility Management Contract with Mobil Sekiyu Kabushiki Kaisha

    TOKYO, Aug. 27 -- Johnson Controls, Inc. has
announced an agreement with Mobil Sekiyu Kabushiki Kaisha, a Japanese
subsidiary of Mobil Corporation , for integrated facility
management services.
    This contract, which began in July 1998, is one of the first fully
integrated management contracts of its kind in Japan, and the first in Japan
for Johnson Controls.  The company has formed a new Tokyo - based subsidiary,
Johnson Controls Integrated Facility Management, to grow its facility
management offering in the Japanese market.
    Under the agreement with Mobil Sekiyu, Johnson Controls provides facility
support services, including facility budgeting, facility management and office
service support to Mobil Sekiyu's headquarters building in Tokyo.  These
services will streamline facility management functions, improving facility
performance and controlling facility costs.
    Johnson Controls already provides integrated facility management services
to Mobil facilities in the U.S., the United Kingdom and Singapore under
previous agreements.
    "We are pleased to partner further with a such a prestigious company,"
said Marshall A. Grayson, Chairman, CEO and Representative Director of Johnson
Controls Integrated Facility Management.  "Our goal is to assist with the
internal facility management of the Mobil Sekiyu building by employing
integrated work environment solutions so that Mobil can concentrate on its
core business.  We are committed to provide Mobil and its employees with an
excellent, productive facility."
    When Mobil developed the new headquarters facility in Japan, it decided to
outsource the facility management in order to maximize the efficiency of the
building and the quality of the workplace.
    "Mobil Sekiyu chose Johnson Controls because of its excellent
qualifications and experience at providing integrated facility management
services to Mobil business units in the U.S., Europe and Singapore," said Ian
Scoble, Chairman and President, Mobil Sekiyu. "We expect to benefit from
Johnson Controls' best-in-class service processes and technology, and its
ability to generate significant cost savings for our organization."
