Description of Business
|
|
Gentex Corporation (the "Company") designs, develops, manufactures and
markets proprietary products employing electro-optic technology:
automatic-dimming rearview automotive mirrors and fire protection products. The
Company also developed and manufactures variable dimmable windows for the
aircraft industry and non-automatic-dimming rearview automotive mirrors with
electronic features.
The Company was organized as a Michigan company in 1974 to manufacture
residential smoke detectors, a product line that has since evolved into a more
sophisticated group of fire protection products for commercial applications. In
1982, the Company introduced an automatic interior rearview mirror that was the
first commercially successful glare-control product offered as an alternative to
the conventional, manual day/night mirror.
