Johnson Controls merges with Tyco

JCI is roughly twice the size as Tyco, but it does look like Tyco has a lot bigger profit margin. Some companies keep the old brand, some slowly eat them up, time will tell.

what seems really popular these days is rebranding the main lines but keeping the old name around for other sales outlets. simplex is kind of unique in that they have no dealers, but tyco security is pretty much 100% based on dealers.
