Honeywell completed its acquisition of Johnson Matthey's Catalyst Technologies business for £1.325 billion ($1.8 billion) in an all-cash transaction. The deal strengthens Honeywell's portfolio across refining, petrochemicals, and renewable fuels, combining Johnson Matthey's catalyst expertise with Honeywell's process technologies, automation, and digital solutions. This acquisition is part of Honeywell's strategy to become a pure-play automation company, following the separations of Honeywell — Honeywell Aerospace and Solstice Advanced Materials. Since 2023, Honeywell has completed approximately $11.5 billion in acquisitions and divested several non-core businesses.
