Honeywell to Sell Its Consumables Solutions Business to B/E Aerospace for
$1.05 Billion
PHOENIX, June 9, 2008 -- Honeywell Aerospace (NYSE: HON) announced
today that it signed a definitive agreement to sell its Consumables Solutions
business to B/E Aerospace for $1.05 billion, consisting of at least $800
million in cash and the remainder in shares of B/E common stock. The
transaction is expected to close in the third quarter subject to regulatory
approval.
Consumables Solutions is a global distributor of aerospace fasteners and
hardware, and provides custom logistics services to original equipment
manufacturers, airlines, repair shops, flight service centers and distributors.
The business generated 2007 revenues of $524 million.
“While Consumables Solutions is a growing business, it no longer fits with
Honeywell Aerospace's strategic focus on more advanced technologies for the
entire aircraft,” said Rob Gillette, Honeywell Aerospace President and Chief
Executive Officer. "B/E Aerospace’s focus on the distribution of
commodities makes this business a better place for Consumables Solutions’
growth over the long-term. We look forward to working with B/E Aerospace under
long-term supply and license agreements.”
Honeywell International is a $37 billion diversified technology and
manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and
services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive
products; turbochargers; and specialty materials. Based in Morris Township,
