Honeywell has announced plans to spin off its Advanced Materials division into an independent, publicly traded company by late 2025 or early 2026.

This strategic move aims to enhance shareholder value while allowing the new entity to focus on sustainability-driven specialty chemicals and materials.

Vimal Kapur, Honeywell’s Chairman and CEO, emphasized that the timing is optimal due to sustained global demand for advanced specialty chemicals.

The new company is projected to generate revenues between $3.7 billion and $3.9 billion in fiscal year 2024, with an EBITDA margin exceeding 25%.

Kapur noted that this separation aligns with Honeywell’s commitment to streamline its portfolio around three megatrends: automation, aviation, and energy transition.

The spin-off follows several recent acquisitions designed to bolster Honeywell’s growth trajectory.

Upon completion, the Advanced Materials division will inherit a robust investment profile, focusing on innovations like Solstice® technology, which significantly mitigates carbon emissions.

The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals but does not require shareholder consent.

As Honeywell refines its operational focus, this spin-off could be a pivotal moment in its corporate evolution.
