  • Morris Plains, N.J.-based Honeywell has donated $400,000 in personal protective equipment to the Mexico Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional to support rescue and relief efforts after Mexico's 7.1-magnitude earthquake in Mexico City. Honeywell Safety and Productivity Solutions provided nearly 50,000 pieces of safety equipment that included respiratory and hearing protection, protective eyewear and footwear, hard hats, and safety gloves.
  • PLS Logistics Services, a provider of logistics management, brokerage, and technology services for shippers, has donated more than $32,000 for the American Red Cross's hurricane relief effort. The money was raised through employee, customer, and company contributions.
