Kapur charts Honeywell’s three-way breakup to end the conglomerate era
Vimal Kapur, a longtime Honeywell executive, is steering the 141‑year‑old group through a three‑way breakup: spinning off Honeywell Aerospace, separating the Solstice chemical business, and keeping the remainder as Honeywell Technologies focused on automation, with the Quantinuum IPO in the mix and activist investor Elliott Management pressing for value. The move reflects a broader shift away from sprawling conglomerates as investors push for strategic clarity and rapid monetization of assets.
