Honeywell Flour Mills PLC (HFMP) is a major flour milling company in Nigeria and was initially registered as Gateway Honeywell Flour Mills Limited in 1985. However, in June 1995, a change in the company ownership structure led to a change of name to Honeywell Flour Mills Limited (HFML).
The entry of the company into the flour milling industry in Nigeria redefined industry standards as its high quality compelled an improvement in the quality of flour products by other players. Over the years HFMP has positioned itself as a market leader in milling, processing & packaging of flour and other wheat based products.
After its initial public offering (IPO) in 2008, the company became a public liability company and was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) in 2009.
Honeywell Flour Mills PLC produces and markets seven major product brands:
- Honeywell Superfine Flour
- Honeywell Wheat Meal
- Honeywell Semolina
- Honeywell Noodles
- Honeywell Pasta
- Honeywell Composite flour
