Honeywell Reorganizes Ahead of Aerospace Spin‑Off — New Segments, AI and Autonomous Aviation

Overview

Honeywell announced an updated business structure to prepare for two planned spin‑offs. Solstice Advanced Materials completed its separation on October 30, 2025. The Aerospace Technology spin‑off is scheduled for the second half of 2026.

What changes and when

Beginning January 1, 2026, Honeywell will adopt a four‑segment reporting structure. Financial results will be disclosed by segment starting with the Q1 2026 report. The new segments are:

• Aerospace Technology — to become an independent public company in 2H 2026.
• Building Automation (Smart Buildings) — hardware, software, sensors, and analytics for millions of buildings worldwide.
• Industrial Automation (Smart Industrial) — sensing, edge devices, and connected industrial systems.
• Process Automation and Technology — end‑to‑end process automation, energy and process technologies that reduce emissions and improve efficiency.

Why it matters for AI and autonomy

Honeywell positions these segments to accelerate digital transformation and autonomy across industries. Key themes include AI‑driven analytics, edge computing, sensors, and software that enable autonomous operations.

Leadership and strategy

Vimal Kapur, Honeywell’s Chairman and CEO, emphasizes the company’s deep domain expertise as it unlocks value through focused units. Post‑split leaders include Billal Hammoud (Building Automation), Peter Lau (Industrial Automation), Jim Masso (Process Automation), and Ken West (Process Technology), all reporting to Kapur.
