History including year of establishment

Key Dates:

1883: Damper Flapper is created by Albert Butz.1909: First controlled thermostat is created.1927: Company incorporated as Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Company.1941: Honeywell becomes a major defense contractor during WWII. 1950-1959: Honeywell's advancements in micro switches lead the company to enter the computer market.1967: The computer division shows a profit for the first time.1988: The Company focuses on its aerospace divisions to boost company profits.1999: AlliedSignal and Honeywell merge.2000: Honeywell's acquisition by General Electric is rejected by the European Union.

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 motors and process control by Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company tracing back to 1886.Honeywell's history dates back to 1904, when Mark Honeywell, an engineer, started producing heat generators for plumbing and heating applications. Later, in 1906, Mark created Honeywell Heating Specialty Co, which specialized in hot water heat generators. In 1927, Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Co was formed as a result of the merger between Honeywell Heating Specialty Co and Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company. Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Co manufactured jeweled clocks. Later, it acquired several companies in the controls area including Brown Instrument Co, a global leader for industrial controls and indicators. In 1934, Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Co acquired Time-O-Stat Controls

Corporation, which marked the beginning of its global expansion. By 1941, the company had distributors in the regions of Panama, Chile, New Zealand, Trinidad, South Africa and Argentina. The T-86 "Round" thermostats, which was introduced in 1953, is produced till date and used as a decorative article in households. Later, in 1963, the company's name was changed to Honeywell Inc. In 1970, Honeywell and General Electric merged their computer businesses to create Honeywell Information Systems. To cash in on the emergence of personal computers, a new company, Honeywell Bull, was formed in 1986 as a joint venture between Honeywell, NEC Corporation (Japan based) and Compagnie des Machines Bull (France-based). Also, in 1986, Honeywell became the world leader in the integration of avionics systems with the purchase of Sperry Aerospace. However, in 1991, Honeywell withdrew from its computer business. By 1998, Honeywell operated in 95 countries, through 13 joint ventures and 83 wholly owned subsidiaries.

In 2002, Conoco I ne awarded a US$1 1.4m Experion Automation contract to support the Magnolia Deepwater Development Project. Autolite (a division of Honeywell), one of the leading producers of aftermarket spark plugs in North America, manufactured its 9-billionth spark plug in the same year. Also, in 2002, Honeywell Friction Materials launched Bendix CT-3 brake pads and the Industry Week magazine chose Honeywell's Warren Plant as one of North America's ten best plants for 2002.

In 2004, Honeywell acquired Hymatic Group Ltd (based in the UK), a manufacturer of environmental control systems. The company also announced that it had signed an agreement with Rolls-Royce for the repair of turbine vanes equipped in the turbine engines of Rolls-Royce. Also in 2004, the Indian company, Tata Steel, awarded Honeywell a second major automation project. Honeywell announced that it had acquired Intri-Plex Technologies Inc's Thermal Solutions product line in the same year.

In 2005, Honeywell completed many acquisitions including that of UOP LLC, in which Honeywell already had a 50% interest. The company also acquired Novar PIc in the same year. Also in 2005, Honeywell's Electronic Materials business was awarded the 'Supplier Excellence Award' by Infineon Technologies.

In February 2006, Honeywell announced the completion of the sale of Indalex Aluminum Solutions to an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners for a sum of US$425m in cash. In March 2006, Honeywell acquired First Technology PIc, an operator of Gas Sensing, Automotive and Special Products. Following this, Honeywell integrated the Gas Sensing business with its Automation and Control Solutions business. In May 2006, Honeywell sold the First Technology Safety and Analysis business to Hg Capital for US$94. 7m. Later, Honeywell sold its First Technology Automotive and Special Products to Sensata Technologies BV for US$90m in November 2006.

In March 2007, Honeywell and DuPont announced an agreement to globally accelerate development and commercialization of low global warming (LGW) potential refrigerants for use in the automotive industry. These would meet the new European regulations that come into effect in 201 1 .Honeywell announced the acquisition of the defense logistics leader, Dimensions International, in May 2007. The transaction, worth US$230m, is subject to regulatory requirements. The following month, the company announced delivery of its 1,000th T55-GA71 4A gas turbine engine to the US Army.

In May 2008, Honeywell announced the opening of its Turbo Technologies Engineering and Test Center in Brno, Czech Republic, today. The new turbocharger R&D Center is the fifth facility in the global technical network for Honeywell.

Honeywell continuously evaluates the relative strength of each business in its portfolio as to strategic fit, market position, profit and cash flow contribution in order to upgrade the combined portfolio and identify business units that will most benefit from increased investment. Honeywell identifies acquisition candidates that will further the company's strategic plan and strengthen its existing core businesses. Honeywell also identifies businesses that do not fit into its long-term strategic plan based on their market position, relative profitability or growth potential. These businesses are considered for potential divestiture, restructuring or other repositioning actions subject to regulatory constraints.

Acquisitions In 1927, Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company and Honeywell Heating Specialty Co. merged to form the Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Co., and became the largest producer of high-quality jeweled clocks. W. R. Sweatt became Chairman and Mark Honeywell became President. The company made several acquisitions in the controls area. One of those acquisitions was the Brown Instrument Co., a worldwide leader in the field of industrial controls and indicators.

Products, Developments and Acquisitions (1953-T-86 “Round” thermostat)

Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Co. leveraged its scientific and engineering talent to transform itself and adapt to changing times. Mass production was perfected and an array of aeronautical equipment broadened the company's product portfolio. In 1942, the company invented the electronic autopilot, which proved to be critically important to the U.S. war effort.

In 1953, the company introduced the T-86 "Round" thermostat, which replaced chunky, rectangular models. One of the world's most recognizable designs, it remains in production today and adorns the walls of more households around the world than any other thermostat.

In 1954, the company acquired Doelcam Corp., a maker of gyroscopes. Over the next two decades, the company constantly improved gyroscopes, making them more sensitive and precise while reducing their size and weight.

In 1957, Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Co. purchased a fire detection and alarm firm, the first of many acquisitions that would build its security business into today's global leader. In many North American cities, the red and black "Protected by Honeywell" window stickers and placards became nearly as recognizable as the “Round” thermostat.

Honeywell acquired businesses for an aggregate cost of $438M, $973M, $1,303M, and $468M in 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For all of the company's acquisitions the acquired businesses were recorded at their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. Significant acquisitions made in the years 2009 to 2012 are discussed in the following. 

In December 2012, Honeywell entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Intermec, Inc. (Intermec) a leading provider of mobile computing, radio frequency identification solutions (RFID) and bar code, label and receipt printers for use in warehousing, supply chain, field service and manufacturing environments for $10 per share in cash, or an aggregate purchase price of approximately $600M, net of cash acquired. Intermec is a U.S. public company which operates globally and had reported 2011 revenues of approximately $850M. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2013, pending Intermec shareholder approval and following customary regulatory reviews. The acquisition is expected to be funded with available cash and the issuance of commercial paper. Intermec will be integrated into Honeywell's Automation and Control Solutions segment. 

On October 22, 2012, Honeywell acquired a 70% controlling interest in Thomas Russell Co., a privately-held leading provider of technology and equipment for natural gas processing and treating, for approximately $525M ($368M, net of cash acquired). Thomas Russell's results of operations have been consolidated into the Performance Materials and Technologies segment, with the non controlling interest portion reflected in net income attributable to the non controlling interest in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the calendar year 2016, Honeywell has the right to acquire and the non controlling shareholder has the right to sell to Honeywell the remaining 30% interest at a price based on a multiple of Thomas Russell's average annual operating income from 2013 to 2015, subject to a predetermined cap and floor. Additionally, Honeywell has the right to acquire the remaining 30% interest for a fixed price equivalent to the cap at any time on or before December 31, 2015. 

In December 2011, Honeywell acquired King's Safetywear Limited (KSW), a leading international provider of branded safety footwear. The aggregate value, net of cash acquired, was approximately

$331M (including the assumption of debt of $33M) and was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The results from the acquisition date through December 31, 2011 are included in the Automation and Control Solutions segment and were not material to the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2011, Honeywell acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of EMS Technologies, Inc. (EMS), a leading provider of connectivity solutions for mobile networking, rugged mobile computers and satellite communications. EMS had reported 2010 revenues of approximately $355M. The aggregate value, net of cash acquired, was approximately $513M and was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The results from the acquisition date through December 31, 2011 are included in the Aerospace and Automation and Control Solutions segments and were not material to the consolidated financial statements. 

In October 2010, Honeywell completed the acquisition of the issued and outstanding shares of Sperian Protection (Sperian), a French company that operates globally in the personal protection equipment design and manufacturing industry. Sperian had reported 2009 revenues of approximately $900M. The aggregate value, net of cash acquired, was approximately $1,475M (including the assumption of approximately $326M of outstanding debt) and was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.

Divestitures In July 2011, Honeywell sold its Consumer Products Group business (CPG) to Rank Group Limited. The sale was completed for approximately $955M in cash proceeds, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $301M and approximately $178M net of tax. The gain was recorded in net income from discontinued operations after taxes in Honeywell's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011. The net income attributable to the non-controlling interest for the discontinued operations is insignificant. The sale of CPG, which had been part of the Transportation Systems segment, is consistent with Honeywell's strategic focus on its portfolio of differentiated global technologies.

Major horizontal/vertical integration

The European Commission (EC) declared in July 2001 the merger between General Electric (GE) and Honeywell “incompatible with the common market” according to the Merger Regulation established in the Council Regulation (EEC) No. 4064/89.

The EC based formally its decision to block the merger on two pillars:

The strengthening of the GE dominant positions in the markets for large commercial aircraft engines and for large regional aircraft engines, and the creation a dominant position on the markets for corporate jet engines.

The creation of a dominant position in the market for avionics and non-avionics aerospace components, where Honeywell enjoyed a leading position, and in the market for small marine gas turbines.

The main channels by which the merger was going to create and strengthen dominant positions consisted in horizontal overlaps and vertical and conglomerate integration. The combined market share of the merging parties, the influence and leverage of the financial arms of GE, GECAS and GE Capital, and the ability and incentive to bundle products are behind the conclusions of the EC. The end result would be monopolization of some markets (like engines for large regional jet aircraft), vertical foreclosure in engine starters, and foreclosure and eventual exit of rivals of the merger entity.

Horizontal Integration

Vertical Integration (Targets, coil sets and Metals)

Honeywell is a leading supplier of metals to the semiconductor industry, manufacturing high-purity physical vapor deposition (PVD)/sputtering targets and advanced packaging materials for electrical interconnect. The company supplies targets for a range of metals, including copper, cobalt, aluminum, titanium and tungsten. These metals are primarily used to form the wiring that conducts the electrical current through the circuits within semiconductors. Honeywell’s advanced packaging materials include copper and tin and are used to electrically connect the chip to the end use device. To ensure a high-quality, consistent and secure supply of metal feedstock, Honeywell is vertically integrated in the production of source materials, with a supply of metals designed specifically for use in the semiconductor industry. The resulting supply chain offers customers better quality control and delivery assurance during times of source material shortages and/or industry ramps. In addition to producing high-purity metals, sputtering targets and advanced packaging, Honeywell supplies a range of materials to the semiconductor industry, including electronic polymers, precision thermocouples and electronic chemicals.

Complying with international trade Controls:

Honeywell is committed to compliance with all applicable trade laws. This includes import and export control laws, as well as regulations in the countries where our Company does business. Export control laws govern the transfer of goods, services and technology to another country. Note that export controls govern many types of exchanges of information across national borders, including email transmissions and web access to different servers that could contain export controlled technical data. The U.S. also controls the transmission of certain export controlled technical data to non-U.S.-persons within the United States.

Import laws and regulations govern the importation of goods. Such laws ensure only admissible goods enter into the importing country, and that the correct amount of duties and taxes are paid on those goods. Honeywell must maintain, among other things, accurate information on the commodity/nomenclature, commercial value and country of origin of all imported goods. As Honeywell continues to expand globally, those of them who deal with the importation of goods and export-controlled items, technology and services have an obligation to understand and comply with applicable regulations. This includes import and export laws, technology control plans, the conditions and provisos of export license authorizations that may apply to their business or facility and Honeywell’s International Trade Compliance policy.

Its diversified business portfolio helps the company against uncertain fluctuation systems and specialty materials markets. Its diversified business portfolio helps the company against uncertain fluctuation in any segment during a particular period.
