Founded in Minnesota, US, in 1885, Honeywell has grown into a $25 billion global corporation.
Honeywell is the world's largest manufacturer devoted to control, automation and advanced control solutions.
Honeywell has been conducting international business since 1930.
The company's network of manufacturing plants, research and development laboratories, sales offices and service facilities extends to more than 90 countries worldwide; Honeywell culture diversified and its employees represent 50 cultures and speak 30 languages.

Honeywell in the Middle East
Honeywell Kuwait is an integral part of the Honeywell Middle East that reports to Honeywell Europe, Middle East and Africa, based in Belgium.
'We have been doing business in this region for half a century. In fact, Honeywell was one of the earliest, American multinational corporations to play a significant role in this commercially diverse part of the world,' said a top official.
The Honeywell Middle East Management Group, located in Abu Dhabi, co-ordinates all Middle East activities on a worldwide basis.
This group is in daily contact with all Honeywell organisations in the region, as well as those in Europe, the US and the Far East that are involved in the region.
As a member of Honeywell Middle East, Honeywell Kuwait is backed by the support of other Honeywell affiliates in the region, including those in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt.
This support can take the form of engineering solutions, speedy spare parts shipment or any other services required to satisfy the customer.
Also supporting Honeywell Kuwait is a network of engineering resources on-call for temporary assignment from other Honeywell affiliates globally. These well-trained personnel are also available to assist with all phases of Project Implementation from Engineering through Installation, start-up and Training.
Honeywell's involvement in Kuwait has grown along with the flourishing Kuwaiti economy.
'Since 1964, we have provided our customers in Kuwait with automation and control products and systems for homes, buildings and industry,' said the official.
'Our control solutions help our customers increase productivity, improve quality, reduce operating costs and create safer, more comfortable environments in which to live and work.
'In 1970, Honeywell formed a joint venture called Honeywell Kuwait. During the 1970s, Kuwait's need for industrial process controls, building automation controls and other Honeywell products and services grew rapidly.
'In addition to supplying Control System solutions, Honeywell Kuwait is also the leading supplier of advanced control technology to Kuwait's refining, gas-treatment, power, desalination and building construction industries.
'Our high quality products and excellent service has helped to build modern Kuwait,' added the official.

Honeywell Kuwait Projects
after the liberation
Honeywell Kuwait executed several projects controlling the most vital application in Kuwait, an example of which is the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) Loading Facility which is the link between the crude oil produced by KOC and the Kuwaiti refineries and exporting facilities.
Also Honeywell Kuwait has supplied eight gathering systems in KOC by an integrated solution of DCS and smart transmitters digitally connected.
The largest DCS unit, in the Middle East, was done for Kuwait National Petroleum Company - Mina Abdulla Refinery.
Another successfully completed project is the Modernisation of Honeywell Process Computer installed in Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KSC).
All of the above-mentioned projects were executed after the liberation under the management of Honeywell Kuwait's Project Team with the customer's specifications and according to the committed schedules.
In addition to the above projects, Honeywell has executed one of the largest upgrades, in the Middle East, on the existing DCS & ESD systems for the Kuwait National Petroleum Company - Mina Abdulla Refinery.
Recently, Honeywell Kuwait executed a project for the restoration of the DCS and ESD system at KOC's Gathering Centre No 15 (which was destroyed), one of the biggest gathering centres in KOC. In addition, Honeywell is also executing complete DCS, ESD and Simulator system for Booster Station  No131 in KOC's North Fields.
Honeywell is currently executing a large project of installation of 26 Emergency Shutdown Systems (Honeywell Fail Safe Control Systems) at the Mina Abdullah Refinery.
