Honeywell<\/a> has confirmed plans to evaluate strategic alternatives for its Productivity Solutions and Services (PSS) and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions (WWS) businesses, which serve the transportation, warehouse and logistics markets.<\/p>\n

This enables Honeywell<\/a> to further simplify its portfolio in order to accelerate value creation ahead of its planned separation into three independent, industry-leading companies, which is expected to be complete in the second half of 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026announcement marks an important milestone in positioning Honeywell for success as a pure-play automation business following our planned Honeywell<\/a> Aerospace separation next year,\u201d said Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a simpler and more cohesive portfolio that serves the end markets of buildings, process and industrials, Honeywell<\/a> will focus on our core areas of automation expertise, each of which is exposed to long-term secular growth drivers that position us as a powerful, global automation leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

PSS, with 2024 revenue of more than $1 billion, is a leading provider of mobile computers, barcode scanners, and printing solutions serving the warehouse and logistics market. WWS, which generated nearly $1 billion in revenue in 2024, is a leading provider of supply chain and warehouse automation projects, services and products \u2013 including automated sortation systems, palletizers, conveyors and robotics solutions as well as aftermarket services and software. WWS operates commercially under the brand names Intelligrated and Transnorm.<\/p>\n

Kapur added: \u201cBoth leaders in their respective markets, PSS and WWS have deep customer and channel relationships, broad product offerings and innovative technologies that help improve efficiency, safety and productivity across the transportation, warehouse and logistics markets. We are encouraged by the recent performance of PSS and WWS and intend to seek opportunities to build on their unique strengths as we determine the best path forward that maximizes value for all our stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Honeywell<\/a> continues shaping its portfolio ahead of the planned separation, it has also appointed industry veteran Jim Masso to lead its process automation business. Masso will serve as President and CEO of Honeywell<\/a> Process Automation, effective July 14, 2025. He brings 20 years of experience in energy services, engineering, operations and management, most recently as President & CEO of Allied Power Group. Prior to that, he held several senior leadership roles at General Electric and delivered transformative solutions across GE’s energy portfolio.<\/p>\n

Kapur concluded: \u201cWe are pleased to welcome Jim Masso to Honeywell<\/a> to lead our process automation business. Having dedicated his career to leading complex, large-scale projects across the industry, he brings a deep understanding of the energy sector and an extensive background in driving customer-centric innovation that make him well-suited to lead this business into its next chapter of growth and innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Honeywell<\/a>\u2019s evaluation of strategic alternatives for its PSS and WWS businesses will run in parallel with ongoing portfolio workstreams and will not impact previously announced timelines for the separations of Solstice Advanced Materials by the end of 2025 or early 2026, and Honeywell<\/a> Aerospace in the second half of 2026. There can be no assurance that pursuing strategic alternatives will result in any transaction or other outcome.<\/p>\n
