Honeywell Sells PSS to Brady Corporation: What It Means for Customers
The Honeywell PSS sale to Brady Corporation is an important market development for customers using Honeywell printers, printheads and other printing solutions.
Honeywell will sell its Productivity Solutions and Services (PSS) business to Brady Corporation in an all-cash $1.4 billion transaction, with closing expected in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. In its announcement, Honeywell described PSS as a leading provider of mobile computers, barcode scanners and printing solutions with approximately $1.1 billion in 2025 revenue. Honeywell also said PSS is currently part of its Industrial Automation portfolio.
Honeywell said the sale supports its broader portfolio simplification as the company prepares for the planned spin-off of its Aerospace business, which it said remains on track for Q3 2026. Honeywell Chairman and CEO Vimal Kapur said the divestiture brings the company closer to completing its multi-year portfolio transformation, while also allowing Honeywell to sharpen its focus on its core businesses.
Kapur also said PSS will benefit from Brady Corporation’s complementary leadership in industrial identification and safety, helping create a broader and more integrated offering for warehouse, logistics and manufacturing customers. Honeywell added that it is still actively assessing strategic alternatives for its Warehouse and Workflow Solutions (WWS) business, which operates under the Intelligrated and Transnorm brands.
For its part, Brady Corporation said PSS generated approximately $1.1 billion in revenue in 2025, has around 3,000 employees worldwide, and will expand Brady Corporation’s capabilities in data capture, mobile computing and workflow automation. Brady Corporation said the combination will create a more comprehensive solutions offering for customers.
For customers, the main takeaway is that the Honeywell activities within PSS related to mobile computers, barcode scanners and printing solutions are expected to move to Brady Corporation once the transaction closes. What this will mean in practice for branding, product positioning, support structures or go-to-market strategy has not yet been fully detailed publicly.
