Intelligrated

Intelligrated was founded in 2001 by Chris Cole and Jim McCarthy,[3] and has its headquarters in Mason, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati.[4]

In 2002, Intelligrated acquired the Versa Conveyor product line from Conveyors Ltd.[5] Later that same year, the company opened a new manufacturing facility in London, Ohio.[6] By the end of 2008, Intelligrated employed more than 500 associates, with field operations throughout the U.S.[2]

In 2009, after purchasing the North and South American operations of FKI Logistex, Intelligrated grew to more than 1,500 associates and expanded its product line to include Alvey palletizers,[7] Real Time Solutions order fulfillment systems, as well as tilt-tray and cross-belt sorters.[8]

Following the FKI Logistex acquisition, Intelligrated continued its international growth by expanding its operations in both Canada and Mexico. In 2012, Intelligrated began operations in São Paulo, Brazil.[9]

In August 2012, Intelligrated was acquired by Permira.[10]

In late 2012, Intelligrated completed the acquisition of supply chain software company Knighted[11] and followed that with the March 2013 purchase of Datria Systems, Inc., a provider of voice-enabled solutions for distribution and logistics organizations. The company acquired United Sortation Solutions, Inc. in February 2016, adding vertical conveyor, tote stacking and de-stacking, and other sortation solutions to the growing Intelligrated portfolio.[12][13]

In August 2016, Honeywell completed its acquisition of Intelligrated in a transaction valued at $1.5 billion, with the company joining Honeywell's Safety and Productivity Solutions business group.[14] To support the integrated path forward as part of Honeywell, Intelligrated was rebranded as Honeywell Intelligrated — capitalizing on the global reach and brand recognition of Honeywell, while leveraging the legacy and reputation of Intelligrated.

Honeywell Intelligrated provides solutions for retail, wholesale, e-commerce, food, beverage, consumer packaged goods, pharmaceutical and medical supply, third-party logistics, and postal and parcel industries.[15]
