Honeywell launches ASEAN headquarters in Malaysia

Technology and manufacturing company Honeywell is strengthening its presence in South-east Asia by establishing a new ASEAN regional headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Briand Greer, president of Honeywell ASEAN, said: “We believe the ASEAN region offers tremendous growth potential due to its favourable demographics and alignment with Honeywell’s portfolio and global macro trends such as the growing middle class, urbanisation, green and efficient energy, safety and security, and digitisation. We are strongly committed to the region. We have been here for more than 30 years, but this is a new chapter for Honeywell. We are excited to partner with the Malaysian and other regional governments and businesses to hire and develop local talent and bring our global resources and vision to these markets.”

Honeywell’s new ASEAN regional headquarters, totalling 74,000 square feet, is currently home to over 400 employees from four strategic business groups – Aerospace; Home and Building Technologies; Safety and Productivity Solutions; and Performance Materials and Technologies. Key leadership and expertise have already started transitioning into the country, with more than 50 regional roles moving to Malaysia in the last year alone. Equipped with Honeywell’s automated building solutions, the ASEAN regional headquarters features the latest in workplace design, which encourages workforce flexibility and collaboration. The high-tech headquarters also gives the region access to Honeywell’s 11,000 software developers and 23,000 engineers.

The headquarters includes a dedicated showcase area that demonstrates Honeywell’s best-in- class software-industrial products and offerings in Connected Transportation, Connected Worker, Connected Homes and Buildings and Connected Industrial.
