Honeywell Separates its Automation and Aerospace Brands

In an effort to reshape its business framework, manufacturing giant Honeywell is dividing its operations into two distinct entities: automation and aerospace.

On 26 June, 2026, Honeywell Technologies and Honeywell Aerospace will become separate publicly listed companies as the company maintains an estimated value of US$18bn.

Automation vs Aerospace

Honeywell’s automation business will now fall under Honeywell Technologies and continue trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “HON.” Honeywell Aerospace will trade under the ticker symbol “HONA.”

This move allows Honeywell Aerospace to become one of the biggest publicly-traded aerospace suppliers with headway in technology and aviation.

Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell says: "Drawing on Honeywell's century-long legacy, these new brand identities honor our history while reflecting the bold vision and strategic focus that will define Honeywell Technologies and Honeywell Aerospace as standalone companies. This is the start of an exciting new era for both businesses.

"Our new brand highlights the powerful intersections of our technology and expertise—from controls to intelligence to safety—that will redefine how industries operate, accelerating the shift toward a more autonomous future while unlocking new levels of growth and long-term value," Kapur explains. 

"As Honeywell Technologies, this bold new chapter strengthens our foundation for the future and reflects our ability to continuously evolve our capabilities to deliver outcomes for our customers."

Elements of each brand

In reference to logo changes, Honeywell Technologies new brand will include a dynamic color pattern and a modern “HT” monogram.   

Honeywell Aerospace will feature a new logo and stylised “H” and “A” letters. The colour, sunrise orange, signifies shades of the horizon that a pilot sees at dawn.

Jim Currier, President and CEO of Honeywell Aerospace says: "Our new Honeywell Aerospace brand reflects the precision, confidence and forward momentum that has defined the past century of innovation and trusted performance we have delivered for our customers and partners.

"As an independent company, we will be uniquely positioned to innovate faster, move with greater agility and shape the next era of aviation."

Despite the separation, the finance outlook of the company remains unchanged as the company expects sales of US$38.8bn to US$39.8bn in the range of 3% to 6%. Adjusted earnings per share is expected to be US$10.35 to US$10.65, up 6% to 9%. Meanwhile, operating cash flow is expected to grow from US$4.7bn to US$5bn while free cash flow is expected to be US$5.3bn to US$5.6bn, representing growth from 4% to 10%. 

Honeywell’s formation of both companies details its continued effort in advancing technology. 

In 2025, Honeywell incorporated Corvus Robotics technology into its autonomous drone fleet, enabling flight without human intervention.

Jackie Wu, CEO at Corvus Robotic explains: "We selected Honeywell’s SwiftDecoder software for our cutting-edge drones due to the company’s long-standing expertise in the warehousing sector and the software’s ability to efficiently and reliably acquire data, even in complex and fast-moving DC environments.

"With Honeywell’s software and our in-house proprietary case counting AI technology, we can quickly decode many cases in one location, all at once. Together, Corvus Robotics and Honeywell are empowering warehouses and distribution centres to better manage inventory, reduce operational expenses and streamline the overall flow of goods throughout the supply chain.”

During the same year, Verizon and Honeywell forged a relationship as the telecommunications company integrated Honeywell’s hardware, software and services to simplify procurement and scale for future needs.
