Recognizing Our Core Behaviors in Others – The 2019 Channel Partner of the Year Awards

In these unprecedented and uncertain times, it’s important that we remember that this situation, though unsettling, is only temporary.  Life will return to normal and businesses will once again flourish.  We will achieve this through teamwork and solidarity.   As such, it feels appropriate that we take this time to recognise and appreciate the efforts of our partners across the aviation industry.  Honeywell therefore has the pleasure of announcing the winners of the Honeywell Channel Partner of Year Awards for 2019.  Before we do, we want to talk generally about our channel partners.

Honeywell Channel Partners are members of a carefully selected group of companies chosen because of their unique market reach, commitment to growth, and strong track record of performance, integrity, and compliance. These awards are not about recognizing our biggest channel partners, but rather our best channel partners – partners whose behaviors exemplify those of Honeywell, consistently going above and beyond to support our customers across the aerospace industry and across the globe.

These awards celebrate extraordinary business achievements throughout 2019. Awarded at a global level, the Honeywell Channel Partner of the Year awards recognize partners for their strong performance, their commitment to cooperation and for providing customers with unparalleled support.

Honeywell Aerospace is pleased to recognize these channel partners who helped take our products and services to new heights in 2019 – and who undoubtedly will help us re-energize and rebuild our industry in the aftermath of Covid-19.
