In 2005, Honeywell partnered with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and developed the Got 2B Safe! awards program to recognize those teachers with an enormous commitment to promoting child safety and encourage educators at elementary schools nationwide to teach their students valuable and potentially life-saving lessons. Five teachers were recognized this year after submitting a one-page lesson plan that emphasized the Got 2B Safe! Four Rules of Safety. The winners include Sheli Gossett of Zolfo Springs, FL; Nicole Cervone-Gish of Warsaw, IN; Julie Carroll of Benson, MN; Amy Payne of Greensboro, NC; and Karen Mensing of Phoenix AZ, who each received a free classroom makeover valued at $10,000 and have their entries featured on the Honeywell Got 2B Safe! website. Every day, more than 2,000 U.S. children are reported missing and thousands more are exposed to dangerous situations. Through the donations of more than 4,000 Honeywell employees, Got 2B Safe! has b...

Honeywell will unveil more than 100 new turbo engine applications globally for passenger and commercial vehicles this year, and more than 20 percent of those applications are destined for the Chinese market to support the rapid growth projected.   "China’s desire for more fuel-efficient vehicles is driving a lot of our global development,” said David Paja, vice president and general manager for China & India, Honeywell Transportation Systems. “China along with the rest of the world is challenged with reducing carbon emissions and improving fuel efficiency without compromising on performance. The beauty of turbocharger technology is that it ticks all of these boxes at the same time, and is ready for the market right away on all platforms. The turbo sales in China are expected to double from 4 million to 8 million during the next five years, while total turbo penetration in new vehicles will reach close to 30 percent." Honeywell has won a number of key domestic and mu...

Honeywell, as part of the International Turbine Engine Company LLC, has signed a contract to supply its F124-GA-200 turbofan engines for the Israel Ministry of Defense’s (IMOD) new 30-strong Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master advanced jet trainer fleet. The contract is worth approximately $735 million and includes engine supply and aftermarket support. The F124 engine delivers the IMOD a number of key benefits. The engine boasts maximum performance for training flexibility, producing over 6,000 pounds of thrust for high acceleration in high-speed training environments to simulate the widest possible range of modern fighter aircraft. There is an ease of maintenance and low cost, as the engine continuously monitors its own health status and provides engineers with diagnostic information to assist in maintenance planning and cost management. Safety is also key, as the F124 is designed to be highly resistant to midair engine cutouts, such as surges or stalls, and includes automated contro...

When eight Honeywell Aerospace employees from the Subic Bay facility in the Philippines were displaced from their homes due to extreme flooding in early August, the Honeywell Humanitarian Relief Fund (HHRF) quickly provided financial assistance as many of their possessions were seriously damaged or destroyed. About 30 employees are located at this facility. More than 780,000 people were displaced across the Philippines due to flooding from monsoon rains and a tropical storm. “I would like to extend my gratitude to Honeywell Hometown Solutions for extending us financial assistance at such a time as this,” said Subic Bay accountant Mika Hirata. “With the amount provided to us we were able to buy materials to make our ceiling stronger and find a comfortable place to stay.” The HHRF is part of Honeywell Hometown Solutions, the company’s corporate citizenship initiative. Funded in part by donations from Honeywell employees, the HHRF strives to address both the immediate and long-term ...

Honeywell UOP’ s technology has been selected to help produce key ingredients for fuels, synthetic rubber and plastics in China. China’s Heilongjiang Anruijia Petrochemical Co. will use Honeywell’s UOP C4 Oleflex™ process to produce isobutylene, a key ingredient for fuels and synthetic rubber, and its UOP Butamer™ process to produce normal butane, a feedstock used to produce the plastic building block, ethylene. Compared with competing processes, Oleflex technology provides the lowest cash cost of production, the highest return on investment and the smallest environmental footprint, enabled by high isobutylene yields, low energy and water consumption, and use of a fully recyclable platinum alumina-based catalyst system. Honeywell’s UOP will also provide the engineering design, technology licensing, catalysts, adsorbents, equipment, staff training and technical service for the project.

EHS Today, a leading publication and resource for safety, health and industrial hygiene professionals in the manufacturing, construction, and service sectors, has named Honeywell Aerospace one of 2012 America’s Safest Companies.

Honeywell announced a $35-million renewable energy project for the City of Wilmington, Del., which will feature a first-of-its-kind facility that converts two sources of biogas into power and heat for the city’s wastewater treatment plant. The project is part of a city-wide initiative to decrease energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions, a program that has also included Honeywell-led solar installations and energy-efficient building improvements. Combined, the upgrades will help the city trim its carbon footprint by approximately 35 percent and meet nearly half of its electricity needs with renewable energy. “The City of Wilmington continues to position itself as a leader in municipal sustainability,” said Mayor James M. Baker. “By working with Honeywell to build the renewable energy facility and make a variety of other unique, innovative improvements across the city, we can significantly reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gases without extra funding from taxpayers.”
