Mark C. Honeywell
Founder-lineage figure
Associated with the early heating-control business that became central to the Honeywell name and controls identity.
Mark C. Honeywell founded the Honeywell Heating Specialty Company in 1906 in Wabash, Indiana, focusing on heating control systems.
Mark Honeywell's company merged with the Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company in 1927 to form Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Co., combining their thermostat and heating control technologies for greater scale.
Albert Butz founded the Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company in 1885, inventing an automatic heat regulator for furnaces that formed the technological foundation for the modern Honeywell thermostat business.
In 1999, AlliedSignal acquired Honeywell and chose to adopt the Honeywell brand name — recognizing that 'Honeywell' carried greater brand equity than 'AlliedSignal' despite the transaction direction.
The fundamental insight that control systems — whether for home temperatures or industrial processes — create enormous economic value by improving efficiency and reliability. This insight has guided Honeywell's evolution from thermostats to aerospace avionics.
