Company Description

Thermostats and jet engines seem worlds apart, but they're the wind beneath Honeywell International's wings. More than a century old, the company is a diverse industrial conglomerate, with four segments; the largest are Automation and Control (HVAC and manufacturing process products) and Aerospace (turbo engines, and flight safety and landing systems). Additional segments include Honeywell Specialty Materials (thermal interconnects, fibers, and chemicals) and Transportation Systems (engine boosting systems, brake materials, car care products). The US government accounts for about 15% of its revenues (primarily Aerospace). Honeywell makes about half of its sales in the US.
