Article Updates

Hi! I'm posting here on behalf of Honeywell, a client of mine. I'd like to request some updates to this article. Some of the edits below are drafted up in my sandbox, here.

The article needs some updates based on organizational changes at Honeywell International, and suggestions from editors over the past year. My edits should address and improve the article compliant to WP: COI, WP:NPOV, and WP:LEAD. I included the references in the Ref-talk box.

I see on the current article:


 * Factual errors about Honeywell International
 * Promotional content based on comments from editors on the current talk page and the archives pages.
 * For transparency, I used strike-through on the promotional content in my proposed content sections that should be removed.

Feel free to ping me for any clarifications. Thanks! --~

Request and Reason: Please update the lead to the proposed lead below. The lead paragraph is a summation of the entire Wikipedia article,WP:Lead. The proposed version that includes the historical and current information for the company. Please see references 1-17 to support the content.

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.

Article updates
Hello,

I've moved our conversation from your talk page here. I see the article needs improvements in a few places, specifically the Lead, History, and the see also sections. The suggested edits are outlined below as a concept to improve the article. What are your thoughts? --Chefmikesf (talk) 00:28, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Please replace the current lead with a new proposed lead

Honeywell International Inc. is an American multinational conglomerate company that offers industrial products, software, engineering services. The company operates four business units–Honeywell Aerospace, Honeywell Building Technologies, Safety and Productivity Solutions (SPS), and Performance Materials and Technologies (PMT).

Honeywell is a Fortune 100 company. In 2018, Honeywell ranked 77th in the Fortune 500. Honeywell has a global workforce of approximately 110,000, of whom approximately 44,000 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 brand recognition.

Reason:The current lead is to succinct for the length of the article. In the Manual of style ,section seven, the appropriate lead length for an article of this size is 3-4 paragraphs. The new proposed lead section above incorporates everything in the current lead with more details to inform the reader about the company.

1.

Please add these sentences to the third paragraph:

Both companies are now publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In May 2019, Honeywell launched Honeywell Forge, an Industrial internet of things analytics platform. On June 5, 2019, Honeywell moved their headquarters to Charlotte, North Carolina. October 2019, the company established Honeywell Robotics.

Reason:Sentence one gives context to the existing sentence. The other two sentences provide context about two important recent events for the company, one the launch of Honeywell Forge and second the relocation of their headquarters.

1.

Please remove Honeywell Turbo Technologies from the See also section

Reason: Honeywell Turbo Technologies no longer exists. This business unit was sold, is publicly traded, and now known as Garrett Advancing Motion.
