About Honeywell

Honeywell traces its roots to 1885 when Albert Butz invented the damper flapper thermostat, and 1906 when Mark Honeywell founded Honeywell Heating Specialty Co. in Wabash, Indiana. Mergers with Minneapolis Heat Regulator Co. and AlliedSignal shaped the modern conglomerate.

Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Honeywell generates over $36 billion annually. Its technology powers commercial and defense aviation (jet engines, avionics, APUs), building management systems (HVAC controls, fire alarms), industrial process automation (Honeywell Forge IoT), warehouse automation, and sustainable fluorine materials.
