AlliedSignal was an aerospace, automotive and engineering company that acquired and merged with Honeywell for $15Bn in 1999, after which the new group adopted the Honeywell name.

AlliedSignal was created through a 1985 merger of Allied Chemical & Dye Corporation and Signal Oil, the company renamed to AlliedSignal on September 19, 1985[1]. The company's involvement in aerospace stems from a previous merger between Signal Oil and the Garrett Corporation in 1968. After that merger, aviation became the company's largest division.

In 1999. AlliedSignal acquired Honeywell and took its more-recognizable name. The acquisition was meant as a final triumphant move to cap off a long career by AlliedSignal's CEO, Larry Bossidy.

As of 2006, its automotive products include Fram Filters, Autolite Spark Plugs and Prestone Anti-Freeze. Both Fram and Autolite were AlliedSignal brands since 1973, purchased from other companies by Garrett's Bendix division. The Prestone brand was acquired in the late 1990s.

Honeywell (before the merger) was an international controls company that developed and supplied advanced technology products, systems and services to aviation and space companies and industry. The product lines of the two companies were complementary, the only principal overlap being avionics.
