We Make Cool Things in Juarez, Mexico: Devices That Power Buildings Worldwide

Our teams build innovation from the circuit board up—designing, assembling and testing smart building technologies, including more than 3 million smoke detectors a year.

From thermostats to bulb and damper actuators, HVAC controllers and smoke detectors, many of our Building Automation solutions start on the production line at our site in Juarez, Mexico.

Automated systems handle the heavy lifting — placing components onto printed circuit boards to create a printed circuit board assembly. Once everything’s in place, each unit is tested to make sure it meets the high standards our customers count on.

And the impact? These products are installed in buildings around the world. In fact, the Juarez site produces more than 12,000 smoke detectors a day — that’s more than 3 million a year.
