YOKOGAWA:
Yokogawa traces its roots back to 1915, when Dr. Tamisuke Yokogawa, a renowned architect, established an electric meter research institute in Shibuya, Tokyo. After pioneering the development and production of electric meters in Japan, this enterprise was incorporated in 1920 as Yokogawa Electric Works Ltd.
In 1933 Yokogawa began the research and manufacture of aircraft instruments and flow, temperature, and pressure controllers. In the years following the war, Yokogawa went public, developed its first electronic recorders, signed a technical assistance agreement for industrial instruments with the U.S. firm Foxboro, and opened its first overseas sales office (New York).
In the 1960s the company made a full-scale entry into the industrial analyzer market and launched the development, manufacturing, and sales of vortex flowmeters, and in the decade following established its first manufacturing plant outside Japan (Singapore), opened a sales office in Europe, and became one of the first companies to bring a distributed process control system to market. In 1983 Yokogawa merged with Hokushin Electric Works and, towards the end of the decade, entered the high-frequency measuring instrument business. In the 1990s, Yokogawa established an office in Bahrain to oversee its business in the Middle East and entered the confocal scanner and biotechnology businesses.
In 2002 the firm continued its growth with the acquisition of Ando Electric, and in 2005 set the stage for a new level of globalization in its industrial automation business with the establishment of Yokogawa Electric International in Singapore. In 2008 the company entered the drug discovery support market with a new bio test system
From being primarily a provider of Process Automation Systems and Products, Yokogawa India Limited (YIL) is today positioned as a Comprehensive Solutions Provider of Enterprise Technology Solutions(ETS). Established in 1987, Yokogawa India has created the state of art global engineering center and manufacturing center in Bangalore.

The company operates four business units, known as Strategic Business Units – Honeywell Aerospace, Home and Building Technologies (HBT), Safety and Productivity Solutions (SPS), and Honeywell Performance Materials and Technologies.[2][3][4]
Honeywell is a Fortune 100 company. In 2016, Honeywell ranked 73rd in the Fortune 500.[5] Honeywell has a global workforce of approximately 130,000, of whom approximately 58,000 are employed in the United States.[6] The company is headquartered in Morris Plains, New Jersey. Its current chief executive officer is Darius Adamczyk.[7][8] The company and its corporate predecessors were part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index from December 7, 1925 until February 9, 2008.
The company’s current name, Honeywell International Inc., is the product of a merger in which Honeywell Inc. was acquired by the much larger AlliedSignal in 1999. The company headquarters were consolidated with AlliedSignal’s headquarters in Morristown, New Jersey; however the combined company chose the name “Honeywell” because of its superior brand recognition. In 2015, the headquarters were moved to Morris Plains.[9]
Honeywell has many brands that commercial and retail consumers may recognize, including its line of home thermostats (particularly the iconic round type) and Garrett turbochargers. In addition to consumer home products Honeywell itself produces, such as thermostats, sensors, security alarm systems, and air cleaners and dehumidifiers, the company also licenses its brand name for use in various retail products made by partner manufacturers such as air conditioners, heaters, fans, security safes, home generators, and paper shredders.
Honeywell’s presence in India dates all the way back to the 1930s, when the first UOP oil refining unit was commissioned in the country’s first refinery in Digboi in the northeastern state of Assam. Today, India is an integral part of Honeywell’s global growth strategy.
Each of our businesses – Aerospace, Home & Building Technologies, Safety & Productivity Solutions, Performance Materials & Technologies – have well-established operations in India. Honeywell has set up state-of-the-art manufacturing and engineering operations for the automation, turbocharger and refining businesses, and operates global centers of excellence for technology and product development in India.
