Our facility expansion means that we not only increase our capabilities, but Honeywell continues to contribute to South Carolinas burgeoning aerospace economy, Lewandowski said.

The South Carolina Department of Commerce has also committed additional tax incentives over the next 20 years to support the continued progress of the facility, according to Honeywell officials.

This investment positions our manufacturing network for future growth to help us maintain leadership and drive innovation, Lewandowski said. We will benefit greatly from South Carolinas wealth of engineering and manufacturing talent to strengthen our technical capabilities and provide production support from Greer.
