As the country eases up community quarantine restrictions and asks business establishments to prepare for the “new normal”, one may have to ask: “is your building return-ready?”

Honeywell reaffirms its commitment to supporting the ASEAN region to weather the pandemic by delivering new solutions, products, and services that enable critical industries and sectors to continue their operations and help protect the health and safety of their employees.

During an online media roundtable, Honeywell ASEAN President Norm L. Gilsdorf discussed their on-going support to businesses by capitalizing on new strategic solutions in helping customers navigate their business challenges and enabling them to meet their respective needs.

“ASEAN is an important market to Honeywell, and we are committed to help industry players to navigate through this unprecedented crisis. Armed with consumer insights that certain technology will be key to address the immediate needs to support a safer return to work, travel, and life, Honeywell has pivoted to provide technologies needed by the markets,” said Gilsdorf.
