Company History
Founded 1906 in Charlotte, North Carolina
Honeywell's roots trace to early thermostat and control-system businesses associated with Mark C. Honeywell and the Minneapolis-Honeywell lineage. Over the twentieth century, the company grew through controls, aerospace, materials, safety, and automation before narrowing again around automation technologies.
Mark C. Honeywell founds an early heating-control business tied to the Honeywell name.
Honeywell's controls lineage strengthens through the combination with Minneapolis Heat Regulator.
AlliedSignal acquires Honeywell and keeps the Honeywell name for the combined industrial company.
Honeywell completes the Advanced Materials separation into Solstice.
Honeywell completes the Aerospace spin-off and the parent begins operating as Honeywell Technologies.
Honeywell Technologies updates 2026 guidance and uses a FY2025 pro forma sales base of $19.915 billion.
The original Honeywell Heating Specialty Company was founded in 1906 by Mark Honeywell in Wabash, Indiana, manufacturing heat generators.
Mark C. Honeywell founded the company, though it merged with Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company in 1927. The name 'Honeywell' came from the company's subsequent dominance of heating and control technology.
In 1999, AlliedSignal (aerospace and automotive materials) acquired Honeywell and adopted the Honeywell name — a reverse merger where the smaller Honeywell brand was more valuable than AlliedSignal's.
In 2001, GE attempted to acquire Honeywell for $42 billion in one of the largest industrial mergers ever. The deal was blocked by European regulators who cited competition concerns in aerospace — a historic regulatory intervention.
In 2018, Honeywell spun off its Homes and transportation products businesses into separate companies (Resideo and Garrett Motion), sharpening focus on higher-margin aerospace, building technologies, and performance materials.
