5 Exhibitors to Visit at A+A (Safety, Security & Health at Work) 2027

Honeywell International Inc., headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, is an industrial technology company founded in 1885 with approximately 102,000 employees and FY2024 revenue of $38.5 billion. Its safety-relevant portfolio for A+A covers portable and fixed gas detection, fire safety, and connected-worker technology, built around product lines including the Honeywell BW Solo single-gas detector, the broader Honeywell Analytics portable and fixed gas detection range, and the IntelliDoX automated docking and calibration system.

Following the May 2025 divestiture of Honeywell Safety Products to PIP Global Safety, the legacy PPE brands now operate under separate ownership. Honeywell retains its gas detection and fire-safety engineering business, allowing it to concentrate resources on sensing technology, compliance data management, and the Connected Worker platform that links portable detectors to cloud software for safety analytics. This focus positions the company squarely for EHS managers and facility operations teams in oil and gas, chemical, LNG, and emergency-services sectors.

Dräger Rental & Safety Services is a service division of Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA, headquartered in Lübeck, Germany, and part of a group founded in 1889 with roughly 16,700 employees operating across more than 190 countries. The division provides scalable rental programs covering gas measurement instruments, respiratory protection, fall protection, ventilation, fire protection, communication devices and medical or sanitation technology, structured into three contract tiers: Rental Basic, Rental Advanced and Rental Professional, each bundling calibration, maintenance and repair.

The rental pool spans approximately 125,000 devices across more than 1,500 distinct product types distributed from 18 locations worldwide, with all fleet maintenance performed in Dräger's own certified service shops rather than third-party facilities. The division holds DIN ISO 9001, DIN ISO 14001 and SCC/VCA certifications, which directly support contractor compliance requirements in oil and gas, chemical and heavy industrial sectors. For turnaround and shutdown projects, the division combines surge rental capacity with factory-trained on-site staffing and inventory management.
