Honeywell International is a diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; turbochargers; and specialty materials.
GSCS was selected as a Preferred Supplier for Honeywell in 2007.
“At first, GSCS provided support to Honeywell in locating critical components for a ground proximity unit for aircraft systems that we build for Boeing. Then, through their Parts Verification and Certification Process (PVCP), GSCS detected and isolated a counterfeit product and prevented us from putting these components into a vital subsystem. Taking it a step further, they coordinated with the Original Component Manufacturer (OCM) to make one last production run for these critical parts and complete our program.”
