Gentex to Once Again Sponsor the Michigan International Auto Show
January 23 2020 - 10:00AM
Gentex Corporation (NASDAQ: GNTX), the Zeeland, Michigan-based
supplier of digital vision, connected car and dimmable glass
technologies for the global automotive industry, announced today
that it will once again be the presenting sponsor of the Michigan
International Auto Show, which runs January 30 to February 2, 2020,
at DeVos Place in downtown Grand Rapids. The show is hosted
annually by the Grand Rapids New Car Dealers Association (GRNCDA)
and produced by ShowSpan, Inc.
This year’s event will showcase hundreds of vehicles from more
than two dozen global manufacturers, including sedans, vans, SUVs,
trucks, hybrids, sports cars, and more. 2020 will also see the
return of the “Million Dollar Motorway,” a room filled with
numerous high-end luxury cars, including a one-of-a-kind Aston
Martin DBS Superleggera, which was on display earlier this month at
Gentex’s booth at the Consumer Electronics Show. The car features a
unique camera-based rear vision system jointly developed by Gentex
and Aston Martin.
Gentex will also have its own booth at the show, where it plans
to display its highly modified, Michigan-themed Chevy Colorado,
which has been outfitted for camping and outdoor adventure. The
truck features a custom-designed vehicle wrap that depicts various
aspects of the Michigan landscape, and is equipped to handle all
types of terrain while camping in style. It even includes a
built-in YETI jockey box that cools and dispenses your favorite
Michigan microbrew from a keg mounted discretely under the vehicle.
The truck is also equipped with a variety of Gentex’s digital
vision, connected car, and dimmable glass technologies.
This year, the truck gets a companion vehicle: a heavily
modified Polaris RZR with a complementary Michigan-themed wrap, a
camera-controlled light bar, digital rearview mirror, and other
Gentex features.
“We love sponsoring and exhibiting at this show and also its
opening night Charity Spectacular. These events not only allow us
to show off the technology we’re working on, but also to show our
support for the great work being done at the Helen DeVos Children’s
Hospital,” said Steve Downing, Gentex president and CEO. “We have a
unique culture at Gentex, and hopefully you’ll get a glimpse of
that when you visit our booth because we’re always on the lookout
for new team members.”
If you’d like to discuss employment opportunities, Gentex’s
booth will be staffed by recruiting representatives from the
Company’s Human Resources Department. As one of West Michigan’s
largest employers, and as a growing technology company, Gentex is
continually hiring new personnel. The company has immediate
openings for production team members, which it recruits for during
open interviews that take place every weekday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
at its 58 E. Riley Street facility in Zeeland, MI.
As an employer, Gentex is known for its world-class facilities,
excellent benefits, tremendous work perks, generous bonus
structure, and a unique corporate culture that values
innovation.
