Simplify the structure to facilitate innovative strategies and accelerate endogenous growth potential
The optimized business mix creates favorable conditions for the deployment of strategic non-endogenous growth capital
Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, October 13, 2023 – Honeywell today announced plans to restructure its business portfolio to focus on three major trends: automation, the future of aviation and the Energy transition. This portfolio change will enable Honeywell to accelerate both organic sales growth and capital deployment for non-organic growth, creating greater value for shareholders. The new division of business groups will be effective from the first quarter of 2024.
“We are committed to differentiated profitable growth.” Honeywell CEO Vimal Kapur said, “After a comprehensive review of our business portfolio, we plan to build our business around three strong key trends, each of which is underpinned by our strong digital capabilities and solutions. “The simplified architecture will enable Honeywell to realize synergies that will accelerate innovation, leverage financial advantages, and unlock greater value through Honeywell accelerator operating systems.”
“As we enter a new chapter in our transformation, this change will allow us to continue to upgrade our financial algorithms, innovate to help solve the world’s toughest sustainability and digital challenges, and deploy capital more efficiently.”
