It originated as part of [[Garrett AiResearch]]'s Industrial Division in [[Phoenix, Arizona]], in 1954, after which they entered a contract to provide 5,000 turbochargers for the [[Caterpillar Inc.|Caterpillar]] mining vehicle. It manufactured turbochargers for [[railroads]] and commercial trucks. The business produced approximately $3.6 billion in revenue in 2021. Garrett Motion is also involved in motorsports providing turbochargers and forced induction systems, solutions and related equipment to racing teams and various forms of automobile racing and professional competitions.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/|title=Products - Turbochargers|website=garrettmotion.com|access-date=September 21, 2018}}</ref> In 2004, the business became part of American industrial conglomerate [[Honeywell|Honeywell International, Inc.]], as their Transportation Systems division.
