Honeywell's history in China dates back to 1935. At that time, Honeywell opened its first dealership in Shanghai. When U.S. President Richard Nixon visited China in 1972, he was invited by the Chinese government to recommend elite enterprises from ten major fields to China to promote two-way exchanges between the two countries and promote China's modernization. Among them, the only UOP company in the refining and petrochemical field that was selected to be recommended to the Chinese government is a subsidiary of Honeywell. The reform and opening up in the 80s became a new starting point for Honeywell to integrate into China's economic development, and as one of the first multinational companies to set up a representative office in Beijing, Honeywell began a series of high-quality investments at that time. At present, all four of Honeywell's business groups have settled in China, and all of its business units have moved their Asia-Pacific headquarters to China, with a number of subsidiaries and joint ventures in 20 cities in China. Honeywell currently invests approximately $1 billion in China and employs approximately 12,000 people.
China is an important market for Honeywell's global expansion strategy, and the company is committed to driving business growth in China with quality, delivery, value and technology. Honeywell's development strategy in China is closely aligned with the overall national plan, making full use of the company's global leading strength in energy conservation, environmental protection, safety and other related fields, and effectively contributing to China's construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly society. Honeywell has established the Honeywell China R&D Center in Shanghai, which is committed to actively building first-class local R&D capabilities in order to more effectively leverage its world-leading technology and innovation capabilities to create safer, more energy-efficient and more environmentally friendly products and technology solutions that meet the needs of Chinese customers and society.
In parallel with its business development, Honeywell places a high value on corporate social responsibility and actively focuses on social issues such as home safety, natural science and math education, home construction and charity assistance through the Homes Project, a unique global public welfare program. In China, Honeywell has carried out "Safe Holidays" safety education activities in more than 10 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Tianjin, Shenzhen, and Wuhan, and has enabled more than 1.8 million primary school students to master the necessary safety knowledge through various light-hearted activities. In addition, Honeywell has sponsored the participation of some Chinese secondary school teachers in the "Honeywell Space Academy Teacher Training Program" in the United States to help teachers better train future scientists and engineers in China.
