Honeywell is selling its warehouse automation business to American Industrial Partners (AIP) for an undisclosed sum.

AIP is an operationally focused private equity firm that invests in industrial businesses with strong management teams. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions.

This concludes Honeywell’s review of alternatives for the warehouse and workflow business, which operates commercially under the Intelligrated and Transnorm brands. The business, which generated approximately $935m in revenue in 2025 and is supported by more than 3300 employees, is a provider of supply chain and warehouse automation projects, services and products, including automated sortation systems, palletisers, conveyors and robotics as well as aftermarket services and software.

It will build on AIP’s existing investment in Trew, creating a complementary and differentiated platform to serve customers across a wide range of industries. Trew (www.trewautomation.com) is a US-based manufacturer and integrator of automated material handling systems and software.

Alfred Rebello, Trew CEO, said: “Intelligrated and Transnorm are highly regarded brands in warehouse automation, built on the strength of their people and long-standing customer relationships.”

As part of the same review, Honeywell (automation.honeywell.com) also announced last month that it has agreed to sell its productivity and services business to Brady.

“As demand for warehouse automation continues to grow, driven by ecommerce, labour shortages and supply chain digitisation, the warehouse and workflow business is well-positioned to capitalise on these tailwinds,” said Murray Grainger, partner at AIP (www.americanindustrial.com). “Built on the strong foundation of the Intelligrated platform, the business combines leading technology, a broad installed base and longstanding customer relationships.”
