The private equity firm that acquired Honeywell’s Intelligrated and Transnorm divisions in April has now completed that transaction, and will combine those two businesses with the systems integrator Trew, the company said today.
Combing those three units will create an organization that is focused on helping customers design, build and support warehouse automation solutions for retail, e-commerce, manufacturing, distribution, and parcel operations, said the parent company, New York-based American Industrial Partners (AIP).
The company will do that through a combined portfolio of systems integration, conveyor, sortation, robotics, automated storage and retrieval (AS/RS), palletizing, software, controls, and lifecycle services. The three businesses collectively generated more than $1 billion in revenue in 2025, employing more than 3,700 people across North America, South America, Europe and Asia.
Leading the newly formed group as CEO will be Alfred Rebello, who brings more than 35 years of experience in material handling and warehouse automation, including positions at both Trew and Intelligrated. He served as an integral part of Intelligrated since its founding in 2001, and led manufacturing, project execution and installation as senior vice president of operations through Honeywell’s acquisition of the company. He joined Trew as President and Chief Operating Officer in 2022 before promotion to CEO in 2023.
According to AIP, Intelligrated, Trew, and Transnorm will continue serving customers under their existing brands. Customer activities will be uninterrupted while the organizations align, and products, services, contracts, support teams and customer relationships remain in place.
The merger process began when AIP acquired an ownership stake in the automated material handling solutions provider Trew LLC in 2023. The investor then announced its plan in April this year to acquire Honeywell’s Warehouse and Workflow Solutions (WWS) business, which includes the systems integrator Intelligrated and the conveyor sortation vendor Transnorm.
