'''Honeywell International, Inc.''' ({{nyse|HON}}) is a major [[list of conglomerates|conglomerate]] company that produces a variety of [[consumer product]]s, [[engineering]] services, and [[aerospace]] systems for a wide variety of customers, from private consumers to major [[corporation]]s and [[government]]s.

Honeywell is a [[Fortune 100]] company with a workforce of approximately 130,000, of which approximately 58,000 are employed in the United States.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/displayfilinginfo.aspx?FilingID=5737580-8711-70641&type=sect&dcn=0000930413-08-001037 |title=Edgar Online SEC Filings FY 2007 |publisher=Yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com |date= |accessdate=September 13, 2011}}</ref> The company is headquartered in [[Morristown, New Jersey]]. Its current [[chief executive officer]] is [[David M. Cote]]. The company and its corporate predecessors were part of the [[Dow Jones Industrial Average]] Index from December 7, 1925 until February 9, 2008.

The current "Honeywell International Inc." is the product of a merger in which Honeywell Inc. was acquired by the much larger [[AlliedSignal]] in 1999. The company headquarters were consolidated to AlliedSignal's headquarters in Morristown, New Jersey; however the combined company chose the name "Honeywell" because of its superior brand recognition.

Honeywell has many brands that consumers may recognize. Some of the most recognizable products are its line of home [[thermostats]] (particularly the iconic round type), [[Honeywell Turbo Technologies|Garrett]] [[turbochargers]], and automotive products sold under the names of [[Prestone]], [[Fram (oil filter)|Fram]], and Autolite.

==History==
Honeywell came into being through the invention of the ''damper flapper'', a [[thermostat]] for coal furnaces, by [[Albert Butz]], in 1885 and subsequent innovations in [[electric motor]]s and [[process control]] by '''Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company''' tracing back to 1886. In 1906, [[Mark C. Honeywell]] founded Honeywell Heating Specialty Co., Inc. in [[Wabash, Indiana|Wabash]], [[Indiana]]. Honeywell's company merged with Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company in 1927. The merged company was called the '''Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Company'''. Honeywell was its first president, [[W.R. Sweatt]] its first chairman.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.honeywell.com/sites/honeywell/ourhistory.htm |title=Honeywell official history site |publisher=Honeywell.com |date= |accessdate=September 13, 2011}}</ref> Honeywell established Honeywell Technology Solutions at Bangalore, India in 2002.

===Sweatt leadership legacy===
W.R. Sweatt and his son Harold provided 75 years of uninterrupted leadership for the company. W.R. Sweatt survived rough spots and turned an innovative idea &ndash; thermostatic heating control &ndash; into a thriving business. Harold, who took over in 1934, led Honeywell through a period of growth and global expansion that set the stage for Honeywell to become a global technology leader.

For more than thirty years the company annually presented the "H.W. Sweatt Engineer-Scientist Award" to individuals in recognition of their outstanding technical ability and contribution to technical accomplishment of significance for the company and their profession. The award program was canceled after the AlliedSignal and Honeywell merger in 1999.

===James H. Binger===
[[James H. Binger]] joined Honeywell in 1943, and became its president in 1961 and its chairman in 1965. On becoming Chairman of Honeywell, Binger revamped the company sales approach, placing emphasis on profits rather than on volume. He also stepped up the company's international expansion &ndash; it had six plants producing 12% of the company's revenue. He also officially changed the company's corporate name from '''Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Co.''' to Honeywell.<ref>http://time-proxy.yaga.com/time/archive/preview/0,10987,940743,00.html</ref>

From the 1950s until the mid-1970s, Honeywell was the United States' importer of [[Pentax]] cameras and photographic equipment. These products were labeled '''Honeywell Pentax''' in the U.S. Under Binger's stewardship from 1961 to 1978 he expanded the company into such fields as defense, aerospace, computer.

===Computing===

Honeywell originally entered the computer business via a joint venture with [[Raytheon]] called Datamatic Corp., but soon bought out Raytheon's share and the business became a Honeywell division. The computer itself was called the [[Honeywell 800]], later updated to the Honeywell 1800.

Honeywell also purchased minicomputer pioneer [[Computer Control Corporation]], renaming it as Honeywell's Computer Control Division. Through most of the 1960s, Honeywell was one of the "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" of computing. [[IBM]] was "Snow White," while the dwarfs were the seven significantly smaller computer companies - [[Burroughs Corporation|Burroughs]], [[Control Data Corporation]], [[General Electric]], Honeywell, [[NCR Corporation|NCR]], [[RCA]], and [[UNIVAC]]. Later, when their number had been reduced to five, ("By the 1970s, General Electric and RCA had left the business"<ref name="HOMC_page_143">

In 1963, Honeywell introduced a small business computer, the [[Honeywell 200]], to compete with IBM's [[IBM 1401|1401]]. That began a product line that continued until the early 1970s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.feb-patrimoine.com/PROJET/honeywell200/h-200.htm |title=Honeywell Series 200 |publisher=Feb-patrimoine.com |date=December 3, 1963 |accessdate=September 13, 2011}}</ref>

In 1970, Honeywell bought General Electric's computer division. The company was reorganized into two operating units one of which was Honeywell Information Systems, headed by President Clarence (Clancy) Spangle.

In the 1980s, Honeywell developed the first Digital Process Communications protocol for its smart transmitters used in process measurement. Since then, smart communication protocols have evolved into various standardised types, such as the HART protocol and DE protocol.

In 1991 Honeywell's computer division was sold to [[Groupe Bull]].

===Defense interests===

Honeywell entered the defense industry in World War II, at first producing aerospace elements. During and after the [[Vietnam Era]], Honeywell's defense division produced a number of products, including [[cluster bombs]], [[missile guidance]] systems, [[napalm]] and [[land mines]]. Minnesota Honeywell Corporation completed flight tests on an inertia guidance sub-system for the X-20 project at [[Eglin Air Force Base]], Florida, utilizing an [[McDonnell F-101 Voodoo|NF-101B Voodoo]] by August 1963. The X-20 project was canceled in December 1963. <ref>"Fiery Crash of Drone Plane Kills Two, Injures One – Four Firemen Overcome In Wake Of Blaze." ''Playground Daily News'' (Fort Walton Beach, Florida),  Volume 16, Number 271, August 20, 1963, p. 1.</ref> The [[Honeywell project]], founded in 1968, organized protests against the company to persuade it to abandon weapons production <ref>State ex rel. Pillsbury v. Honeywell, Inc., Minnesota Supreme Court, 1971 [http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=7889386799037678378&q=291+minn.+322&hl=en&as_sdt=2,39]</ref>

In 1990, Honeywell's defense division was spun off into [[Alliant Techsystems]]. Honeywell continues to supply aerospace products including electronic guidance systems, cockpit instrumentation, lighting, and primary propulsion and secondary power turbine engines.

In 1996, Honeywell acquired [[Duracraft]] and began marketing its products in the home comfort sector. Today, [[Kaz Incorporated]] owns both Duracraft and Honeywell's home comfort lines.

Honeywell is in the consortium that runs the [[Pantex|Pantex Plant]] that assembles all of the [[nuclear bomb]]s in the United States arsenal. Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, successor to the defense products of AlliedSignal, operates the [[Kansas City Plant]] which produces and assembles 85 percent of the non-nuclear components of the bombs.<ref>[http://www.kansascity.com/business/story/1670961.html KC Council gets $673 million plan to replace Honeywell plant - Kansas City Star - January 7, 2010]{{dead link|date=September 2011}}</ref>

===Specialty materials===
Honeywell’s Specialty Materials business can trace its heritage to a small [[sulfuric acid]] company started by chemist [[William H. Nichols]] in 1870. By the end of the 19th century, Nichols had formed several companies and was recognized as a force in America’s fledgling chemical industry. Nichols’s vision of a bigger, better chemical company took off when he teamed up with investor [[Eugene Meyer]] in 1920. Nichols and Meyer combined five smaller chemical companies to create the Allied Chemical & Dye Company, which later became Allied Chemical Corp., and eventually became part of [[AlliedSignal]], the forerunner of Honeywell’s Specialty Materials business. Meyer went on to serve in the [[Calvin Coolidge|Coolidge]], [[Herbert Hoover|Hoover]] and [[Harry Truman|Truman]] administrations and to buy the ''[[Washington Post]]'' newspaper in 1933. Both he and Nichols have buildings named after them in Honeywell’s headquarters in Morristown, N.J. [[Andreas Kramvis]] is the current President and CEO of the Specialty Materials division.

===GE-Honeywell merger attempt===
[[General Electric]] announced in 2000 it would attempt to acquire Honeywell; at the time, Honeywell was valued at over $21 billion. The merger was cleared by American authorities but was blocked by the [[European Commission]]'s competition commissioner, [[Mario Monti]], on July 3, 2001. This decision was taken on the grounds that GE's dominance of the small jet engine market (led by the [[General Electric CF34]] [[turbofan]] engine), leasing services ([[GE Commercial Aviation Services|GECAS]]), and Honeywell's portfolio of regional [[jet engines]] and [[avionics]], the new company would be able to "bundle" products and stifle competition through the creation of a [[Horizontal integration|horizontal monopoly]]. US regulators disagreed, finding that the [[merger]] would improve competition and reduce prices; United States Assistant Attorney General [[Charles James]] called the EU's decision "antithetical to the goals of antitrust law enforcement".<ref>Charles James, [http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/public/speeches/9100.htm "International Antitrust in the Bush Administration"], September 21, 2001 </ref>
In 2007, General Electric acquired [[Smiths Aerospace]], which had a similar product portfolio.<ref name="wsj_20070115">"[http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20070115-703428.html Smiths To Sell Aerospace Ops To GE For $4.8B]."

[[File:Honeywell Global HQ jeh.jpg|thumb|Entry to Morristown headquarters]]
The current "Honeywell International Inc." is the product of a merger between [[AlliedSignal]] and Honeywell Inc. in 1999. Although AlliedSignal was twice the size of Honeywell, the combined company chose the name "Honeywell" because of its superior brand recognition. However, the corporate headquarters were consolidated to AlliedSignal's headquarters in [[Morristown, New Jersey]] rather than Honeywell's former headquarters in [[Minneapolis, Minnesota]]. When Honeywell closed its corporate headquarters in Minneapolis, over one thousand employees lost their jobs. A few moved to Morristown or other company locations, but the majority were forced to find new jobs or retire. Soon after the merger, the company's stock fell significantly, and the stock value only regained the pre-merger level in 2007.

In January 2002 [[Knorr-Bremse]] -- who had been operating in a joint venture with Honeywell International Inc -- assumed full ownership of its ventures in Europe, Brazil and the USA. Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems (www.bendix.com) became a subsidiary of Knorr-Bremse AG. Although declining in influence, Honeywell maintains a presence in emerging industries, such as Northern [[Alberta]]'s [[Oilsands]]. Honeywell's Plant integrator is currently deployed in some of the most important plant-sites in the [[Oilsands]] (i.e. [[Syncrude]], [[Suncor]] and others).

In December 2004, Honeywell made a £1.2bn ($2.3bn) bid for [[Novar plc]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4091177.stm |title=December 13, 2004 |publisher=BBC News |date=December 13, 2004 |accessdate=September 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>The offer was £798m or £1.85 per share for each Novar share, with another £331m for preference shares and debt.</ref> The acquisition was finalized on March 31, 2005.<ref name="Novar">{{cite web|url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2005_March_31/ai_n13492309 |title=Honeywell Completes Acquisition of Novar plc; Final Clearance from European Commission Confirmed - Business Wire, March&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2005 |publisher=Findarticles.com |date=March 31, 2005 |accessdate=September 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>Novar also had two other divisions, IAS and SPS, which Cote indicated would be sold quickly because although strong businesses in their respective industries they did not fit with the Honeywell portfolio.</ref>

In October 2008, Honeywell Ltd. was named one of "[[Canada's Top 100 Employers]]" by Mediacorp Canada Inc., and was featured in ''[[Maclean's]]'' newsmagazine. Later that month, Honeywell was also named one of [[Greater Toronto's Top Employers]], which was announced by the [[Toronto Star]] newspaper.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eluta.ca/top-employer-honeywell|title=Reasons for Selection, 2009 Canada's Top 100 Employers Competition}}</ref>

===Six Sigma Plus===
Honeywell International is known for its aggressive implementation and daily practice of [[six sigma]] and [[lean manufacturing]] methodologies commonly referred to as ''Six Sigma Plus''. ''Six Sigma Plus'' is focused on reducing errors/failures, improving cycle time, and reducing costs. Recently, Honeywell announced the implementation of a corporate philosophy known as the Honeywell Operating System (HOS), which incorporates practices similar in name only to the [[Toyota Production System]].

===Honeywell Technology Solutions===
Honeywell Technology Solutions (HTS) is an R&D (research and development) division within Honeywell dedicated to innovative product research.  HTS is headquartered in [[Bangalore]], [[India]] with an employee strength of over 5000. HTS has development Centers in [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]] (India), [[Madurai]] (India), [[Shanghai]] (China), and [[Brno]] (Europe, Czech Republic). Most of the flight management systems are made and tested at these labs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.finance.reachinformation.com/Honeywell.aspx |title=Reach Information Portal |publisher=Finance.reachinformation.com |date=March 24, 2009 |accessdate=September 13, 2011}}</ref> HTS offers technological and R&D services to the various business units of Honeywell International, mainly Aerospace, Automation and Control Solutions (ACS), Speciality Materials and Transportation Systems.  Recently the company started producing car parts also such as radiators.
