The awards ceremony, part of Honeywell’s Distribution Channel Executive Conference held during the 2012 Users Group Symposium in Phoenix, recognize growth, customer service, innovation and excellence among companies supplying and integrating Honeywell solutions in the Americas.

“Honeywell’s channel partners are vital in ensuring our products meet customers’ needs,” said Don Maness, vice president, Honeywell Process Solutions. “In a wide range of industries they provide the product expertise to meet local regulatory and industrial process requirements.”

Two of Honeywell’s top awards this year were the Channel Partner of the Year and the OEM Innovator of the Year Awards.  Winning Channel Partner of the Year of the year award was AWC Incorporated, Southeast Division for creatively solving customer problems with Honeywell products.
