| The company has a long history
in China that goes back almost 80 years to 1935. When
China opened the door to its economy in 1983, the
company was among the first to act up a representative
office in Beijing.
The company’s success in China
is built on a foundation of partnership with the government
and local industry, an in-depth understanding of customer
requirements, unmatched technology leadership and
a commitment to the highest standards of customer
service.
Today, Honeywell is an active participant
in the local economy with an investment holding company
supporting 21 active Honeywell subsidiaries and joint
ventures within China. The company has a presence
in 12 cities across the country through its subsidiaries,
branch offices and research centers and a staff population
of more than 4,000 strong.
China will play an increasingly
important strategic role to Honeywell's global success.
Honeywell relocated its Asia Pacific Headquarters
to Shanghai in June 2003. The Asia Pacific Headquarters
office and R&D Center officially opened in November
2004. This is a major milestone in our journey and
a strong signal of our commitment in China.
At the China market grows, Honeywell
is poised to grow with it through the expansion of
its operations and new investments in this dynamic
market.
