Honeywell has agreed to sell its productivity solutions and services unit to industrial equipment maker Brady in an all-cash deal worth $1.4 billion.
Honeywell announced this on Monday, April 20, 2026, as it aims to streamline its sprawling businesses.
The industrial giant said in July it was evaluating strategic alternatives for two businesses, including productivity solutions and services (PSS), ahead of splitting its operations into separate aerospace, automation, and advanced materials units.
Honeywell divested its personal protective equipment business in 2024 and spun off its advanced materials unit in October 2025.

The company makes labels, signs, safety devices and printing systems for industries including electronics, manufacturing, and aerospace.
