- Johnson Controls (JCI +1%) is exploring a potential sale of its Scott Safety safety gear unit, in a deal that could fetch as much as $2B, Reuters reports.
- JCI is in advanced stages of negotiations with potential acquirers, including Honeywell (HON +0.7%) and 3M (MMM +0.7%), according to the report.
- A sale would free JCI from a non-core business and allow it to strengthen its balance sheet following last year's merger with Tyco.
