About Gentex Corp.
Gentex was established in 1974 as a manufacturer of fire protection products. They created the world’s first dual-sensor photoelectric

By 1987, they created a whole industry behind their mirrors. The electrochromic automatic-dimming mirrors are now in over 300 vehicle models, and they continue to see advancements as Gentex evolves.
