Honeywell International Inc
Profile
Honeywell International is a technology and manufacturing company based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founded in 1906, and long associated with thermostats, it also designed and manufactured cluster bombs; the electronic systems used to drop the atomic bombs on Japan in 1945; as well as the controls for B-52 bombers, nuclear submarines, the MX intercontinental ballistic missiles, Pershing II and Trident nuclear missile systems. After the company became a primary target of the anti-war movement in the 1960s, Honeywell helped the Federal Bureau of Investigation to spy on the activists. After the activists sued the company for interfering with their right to protest, Honeywell agreed to pay for cluster bomb removal in Laos.
