Question: Honeywell Around the World "You can't see most of our products, but you can count on them." This is a quote from the Honeywell web site. Sometimes the products we don't think about or can't see are some of the most important products for our safety and comfort. Honeywell manufactures collision avoidance and traffic control systems for the aerospace industry. They also make wing-ice and wind-shear sensors and landing systems. Most of us will never see these products, but we rely on them to help get us safely to our destination. Honeywell also makes controls to keep airport facilities efficient, safe, and comfortable. Again, most of us will never see these products, but we count on them to keep us comfortable as we travel. Honeywell has manufacturing facilities and affiliates around the world, including the Asia Pacific region, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Brazil, and Mexico. It is estimated that Honeywell employs nearly 62,000 people outside North America.
