![Datamax to Honeywell][1][][]
Datamax-O’Neil has now been officially acquired by Honeywell joining previously available auto-id manufacturers **Metrologic**, **Intermec**, and **LXE**. Datamax’s extensive industrial, desktop and mobile printer portfolio substantially increases Honeywell’s printer product offerings.

This move is a strong one for Honeywell to round out its product line.  The Metrologic acquisition was the first purchase and it gave Honeywell a great start in the AutoID/Barcoding/Point-of-Sale market as Metrologic had a rock solid profile of laser barcode scanners like the MK9520 Voyager currently now updated to the [Voyager 1200g][3]. Even today POSGuys.com receives many queries for Metrologic scanners despite them having been relabeled as Honeywell since July 2008 over six years ago.

The LXE acquisition gave Honeywell a foothold in the enterprise [mobile computer][4] and vehicle mount markets as did the Intermec purchase that followed shortly after.

Intermec further solidified their line of mobile computers while also adding in some great imager technology for a stronger 2-D barcode scanner profile. The SG20 is one 2D scanner that we consider Honeywell quite fortunate to have obtained in the acquisition. Intermec also offered many quality [barcode printers][5] and soon all of them will be branded “Intermec by Honeywell”.

The latest Datamax-O’Neil acquisition furthers their label printer line, they now have a bevy of [Mobile Printers][6] for both point of sale and industrial warehousing applications.  They also have greatly increased their media capabilities as Datamax-O’Neil offers an entire line of custom barcode printing labels. Considering that some of the rugged Datamax-O’Neil printers were designed specifically with warehouses in mind we see this merger as working together with the LXE acquisition to give Honeywell an increasing presences in supply chain management.

Given that Honeywell International’s stock has been on an upward trend over the last five years we foresee many more quality scanners, printers, mobile computers, and possibly acquisitions to come.

[Here is Motley Fool's take on the merger][7] in which they generally praise both Honeywell and Datalogic for striking a deal that benefits both parties.
