Building technology company Johnson Controls, which is based in Ireland but has operating headquarters in Glendale, on Wednesday announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire Boston-based Alloy Enterprises.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. It is expected to close in the third quarter.

Founded in 2020, Alloy Enterprises is a thermal, mechanical and materials sciences technology company that specializes in a thermal management platform for data centers and other industrial applications. The company has been focused on a platform with direct liquid cooling components that can improve thermal management efficiency, allowing heat to be removed faster and more effectively, and reduce pressure drop so fluid can flow easier, according to a news release from Johnson Controls.

“We’re excited to join Johnson Controls and accelerate the impact of our unique technology,” said Alison Forsyth, co-founder and CEO of Alloy Enterprises. “We’ll continue to work closely to solve the industry’s most urgent challenges in data centers and other mission-critical environments. We look forward to this new chapter and continuing to scale with one of the world’s most respected and experienced leaders in thermal management innovation.”

In its news release, Johnson Controls said its acquisition of Alloy Enterprises will enable it to expand its “leadership and capabilities in the high growth data center cooling segment.”

“This acquisition is about enabling our customers to stay ahead of fast-changing compute demands by adding another core technology that enables us to optimize the overall thermal management architecture of a data center. It will also strengthen our core technology capabilities that can scale across the Johnson Controls portfolio and reinforces our long-term commitment to lead more broadly in advanced thermal management solutions for mission critical applications,” said Lei Schlitz, vice president and president of Johnson Control’s Global Products & Solutions group. “With the addition of Alloy Enterprises, we are poised to set new standards in cooling efficiency and capacity and help customers accelerate time to market with the right integrated technologies. We look forward to welcoming the talented Alloy colleagues to the Johnson Controls team.”
