Honeywell Sensing and Control

A History of Innovation and Reliability

Honeywell Sensing and Control understands the rigorous demands of supplying quality sensors to the automotive industry. Why? Because we’ve been doing it for the past three decades. Our breakthrough introduction of vane sensors to replace breaker points in old distributor ignition systems was just one of our innovations, and a big leap forward in automotive technology.

Now, 150 million vane sensors later, we continue to focus on innovative solutions. Our experience and expertise help reduce the risks and costs associated with new product development, and our vertically integrated facilities provide total control over every aspect of the design and manufacturing process. The result? High quality. Fast delivery. Technical mastery. Innovation that works for you.

The solutions we provide meet your needs, whether they be specialized performance objectives, demanding design requirements, comfort and convenience needs, or changing diagnostic, fuel economy, or emission standards.
