Insights

Honeywell's $1.325B divestiture of its PPE business supports portfolio optimization while funding $13.5B in strategic acquisitions to drive core business growth.

Honeywell has completed the $1.325 billion all-cash sale of its Personal Protective Equipment business to Protective Industrial Products (PIP), a portfolio company of Odyssey Investment Partners. This transaction represents a significant milestone in Honeywell's broader portfolio optimization strategy.

This divestiture follows a clear pattern of strategic focus, coming after Honeywell's 2021 exit from the footwear segment and alongside recently announced plans to separate its Aerospace Technologies and Advanced Materials units. The company is executing a deliberate transformation to create three distinct publicly traded entities with clearer value propositions and growth trajectories.

More telling is what Honeywell is doing with this capital redeployment. Since December 2023, the company has announced $13.5 billion in acquisitions aimed at strengthening its core operations, including Carrier's Access Solutions business, Civitanavi Systems, CAES Systems, Air Products' LNG business, and pending acquisitions of Sundyne and Johnson Matthey's Catalyst Technologies Business.

The strategic rationale centers on simplification and focus. By divesting non-core assets like the PPE business, Honeywell is streamlining operations while simultaneously investing in areas with higher growth potential and better strategic fit. This portfolio reshaping should enhance operational efficiency, reduce complexity, and potentially improve margin profiles across remaining business segments.

For investors, this represents continued execution of Honeywell's capital allocation strategy – monetizing mature businesses while reinvesting in higher-growth areas that align with the company's technological strengths and market positioning. The $1.325 billion cash infusion further strengthens Honeywell's financial flexibility as it navigates this significant corporate restructuring phase.

  • $1.325 billion divestiture optimizes and simplifies Honeywell's portfolio 
  • Positions Honeywell to continue to deliver profitable growth and strong cash generation, creating compelling long-term value for shareowners

("PIP") for $1.325 billion in an all-cash transaction. PIP is a global supplier and manufacturer of PPE products and a portfolio company of Odyssey Investment Partners.

The sale further advances Honeywell's efforts to optimize its portfolio, while allowing the PPE business to build a strong future with PIP as it continues to deliver value for its customers across the globe.

"Completing the divestiture of our PPE business is another critical step in simplifying and optimizing our portfolio for growth in our core businesses," said Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell. "Beyond the benefits for Honeywell, the sale also strengthens PPE's future opportunities given the strong alignment to PIP's core business."

The completion of this sale follows Honeywell's recent announcement of the planned separation of its Aerospace Technologies business along with the previously announced spin of Advanced Materials, which will result in three publicly listed industry leaders with distinct strategies and growth drivers. Since December 2023, Honeywell has announced a number of strategic actions to drive organic growth and simplify its portfolio. This includes $13.5 billion of accretive acquisitions: the Access Solutions business from Carrier Global, Civitanavi SystemsCAES Systems, the LNG business from Air Products and the announced acquisitions of Sundyne and Johnson Matthey's Catalyst Technologies Business.
