Honeywell and Mustang Automation have refined our working relationship over the last four years and developed an alliance that provides improved results beyond what the typical project approach can offer. Rather than five separate teams, the Mustang Automation Alliance provides one consistent team through the life of the project. One consistent core of resources reduces the transition costs associated with traditional project approaches.

The Flexible Automation Solutions Team (FAST) is a cooperative engineering, procurement and construction execution relationship between Honeywell Process Solutions and Mustang Automation and Control. The alliance is aimed at delivering performance-based solutions for process control, process information integration, work process improvements, advanced applications and legacy system integration to the process industry globally. The relationship emphasizes flexibility from initial contracting strategy through long-term support.

This alliance utilizes the overall strengths of a technology supplier with the project management and execution strengths of a systems integrator to generate an interactive set of checks and balances, resulting in well-engineered and cost-effective solutions, and superb customer satisfaction

• Cooperative - The alliance is between two companies that have complementary strengths. We work as a team without specifically defined silos of responsibilities.
