Original Lead

Honeywell International Inc. is an American multinational conglomerate company that produces commercial and consumer products, engineering services and aerospace systems. The company operates four business units, known as Strategic Business Units – Honeywell Aerospace, Home and Building Technologies (HBT), Safety and Productivity Solutions (SPS), and Honeywell Performance Materials and Technologies.

Honeywell is a Fortune 100 company. In 2018, Honeywell ranked 77th in the Fortune 500. Honeywell has a global workforce of approximately 130,000, of whom approximately 58,000 are employed in the United States. The company is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. Its current chief executive officer is Darius Adamczyk. The company and its corporate predecessors were part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index from December 7, 1925, until February 9, 2008.

The company's current name, Honeywell International Inc., is the product of a merger in which Honeywell Inc. was acquired by the much larger AlliedSignal in 1999. The company headquarters were consolidated with AlliedSignal's headquarters in Morristown, New Jersey; however the combined company chose the name "Honeywell" because of its superior brand recognition. In 2015, the headquarters were moved to Morris Plains. On November 30, 2018, Honeywell announced that its corporate headquarters would be moved to Charlotte, North Carolina. On July 1, 2019, Honeywell moved employees into a temporary headquarters building in Charlotte before their new building was complete.

Honeywell has many brands that commercial and retail consumers may recognize, including its line of home thermostats (particularly the iconic round type) and Garrett turbochargers. In addition to consumer home products, Honeywell produces thermostats, sensors, security alarm systems, and air cleaners and dehumidifiers. The company also licenses its brand name for use in various retail products made by other manufacturers, including air conditioners, heaters, fans, security safes, home generators, and paper shredders.

Reason:The lead paragraph is a summation of the entire Wikipedia article,WP:Lead. Would you mind taking a moment to take a look at this proposed version that includes the historical and current information?

Current Content

On September 12, 2016, Morris Plain, N.J.-based Honeywell announced that it would invest $20 million in the first-of-its-kind software development center and relocate the headquarters of its nearly $10 billion home and building technologies division from suburban Minneapolis to Atlanta. The expansion will add more than 800 jobs.

David Cote stepped down as CEO on April 1, 2017, and was succeeded by Darius Adamczyk, who had been promoted to president and chief operating officer (COO) the previous year. Cote served as executive chairman through April 2018. On October 10, 2017, Honeywell announced plans to spinoff its Homes, ADI Global Distribution, and Transportation Systems businesses into two separate, publicly traded companies by the end of 2018.

In early 2019 Honeywell launched its home spinoff under the brand Resideo, focusing mostly on programmable and remotely operated thermostats. In October 2019, the company announced the establishment of an advanced technology center called Honeywell Robotics, which will be focused on innovating and developing artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision and advanced robotics to be used across supply chains.

2021 Article Updates
Hi, How are you? I also work on the Honeywell article and am curious if you're interested in improving this article. I noticed the Honeywell article has a similar issue with a Business groups section and a products and services section. In requests 3 and 5, I propose removing the Products and services section and adding the List of Products and services Link to the Business groups section. What are your thoughts on this? The rest of the edits are article maintenance and factual updates. --Chefmikesf (talk) 19:39, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

✅, I think I made all the requested changes, though the table additions were quite fussy to add... let me know if I got anything wrong! Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 18:44, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for your help. I know the table can be a little tricky, hence leaving the best code I could. The only thing I see at a glance is the two }} symbols at the end of the COVID-19 content. Would you like me to make that minor edit? I don't believe that will compromise my COI, WP:PLAINANDSIMPLECOI.--Chefmikesf (talk) 20:13, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure! Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 20:15, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Please add a new proposed sentence: In April 2021, Will.i.am and Honeywell collaborated on Xupermask, a smart mask made of silicon and athletic mesh fabric that has LED lights, 3-speed fans and noise-canceling headphones in the mask.

3.

The Business Groups section outlining Honeywell’s Business groups and their products and services. I suggest adding the Main article: List of Honeywell products and services link to the top of Business groups section. The Products and services section of the Wikipedia article is out of date. The section repeats content in the Business groups section. My suggestion is to remove the Products and services section from the Honeywell Wikipedia article.

4.

Please add
 * Duncan B. Angove || Chief Executive Officer of Arcspring LLC
 * Deborah Flint || President and Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA)
 * Raymond T. Odierno || 38th Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army
 * Raymond T. Odierno || 38th Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army
 * Raymond T. Odierno || 38th Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army

Reason:Three board members in the table do not have a title. The content above lists that board member and their title.
