Case Study: Boehringer Ingelheim achieves 98% HVAC availability with Johnson Controls

Boehringer Ingelheim achieves 98% HVAC availability with Johnson Controls

Boehringer Ingelheim, a global pharmaceutical company, faced significant HVAC reliability issues at its manufacturing plant in Campinas, Brazil, following an unsuccessful outsourcing experience. This threatened its strict regulatory compliance and 24x7 production of veterinary pharmaceuticals, which require tightly controlled environmental conditions. To address this challenge, Boehringer Ingelheim entered into an operations and maintenance agreement with Johnson Controls.

Johnson Controls implemented a dedicated on-site team to first restore the HVAC equipment to its original operating condition and then establish a structured preventive and predictive maintenance program. This solution resulted in 98% HVAC equipment availability, improved operational stability in critical production areas, and reduced energy consumption. The outcomes achieved by Johnson Controls supported Boehringer Ingelheim's regulatory compliance and contributed to its longer-term sustainability objectives.
