Honeywell International Inc., a Fortune 100 diversified technology and manufacturing leader, recently announced that the company’s third-quarter profit fell 15 percent due to slower sales in all its divisions with aviation and industrial products continuing to struggle.

For the third quarter ended September 30, the company earned $608 million, or 80 cents per share, down from $719 million, or 97 cents per share, one year ago. In addition, revenue declined 17 percent to $7.7 billion, down from $9.28 billion during the third quarter of 2008.
