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.[1][2]
Honeywell is a Fortune 100 company. In 2018, Honeywell ranked 77th in the Fortune 500.[3] Honeywell has a global workforce of approximately 130,000, of whom approximately 58,000 are employed in the United States.[4] The company is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. Its current chief executive officer is Darius Adamczyk.[5][6] 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.[7] On November 30, 2018, Honeywell announced that its corporate headquarters would be moved to Charlotte, North Carolina.[8] On July 1, 2019, Honeywell moved employees into a temporary headquarters building in Charlotte before their new building was complete.[9]

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.

Hi @Grand'mere Eugene:, 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) Done Chefmikesf, 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'mere Eugene (talk) 18:44, 28 May 2021 (UTC) Hi @Grand'mere Eugene:, 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) Location: Infobox

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.
