Certifications

Innovation and quality are the bedrock of everything we do at Gentex and we want to make sure our partners, suppliers and everyone in between is continually equipped with the resources, information and tools that they need.

Quality

Gentex Quality Policy: To be our customers' reference point for quality and service. Quality is Gentex's highest priority.

At Gentex, we believe we have a smarter vision, smarter products, smarter processes, and a smarter view of the future. We’re concerned about providing customers with innovative, long-term solutions that add value, and not only short-term financial gain. While many automotive suppliers may come and go, our goal is to continually innovate in order to remain the auto-dimming mirror supplier of choice for customers around the world.

Superior Manufacturing

Because Gentex literally invented the electrochromic mirror industry, we also had to develop the supply base, manufacturing techniques, equipment, and testing methods. It was a long learning curve. But today, our experience, proprietary manufacturing techniques, and hard work has paid off, because no other glare-reduction mirror provider in the world can match our manufacturing capabilities - not in yields, quality, or volume.

Superior Quality

Gentex's superior product quality is the industry benchmark. Our proprietary auto-dimming technology has inherent, far-reaching advantages over competitive glare-reduction techniques. Our mirrors meet all worldwide automotive specifications for durability and visual acuity.

ISO14001:2015 and ISO45001:2018

ISO14001:2015 and ISO45001:2018 Certification

Gentex is committed to continually improving how we operate. In 1999, we began the establishment of an environmental management system based on the ISO14001 international environmental management standard. ISO14001 outlines a structured management system to achieve and demonstrate sound environmental performance by controlling the impact that our activities, products, and services have on the environment.

We furthered these initiatives by completing our ISO45001 Health and Safety Management certification for our US Manufacturing facilities in 2023. ISO45001 provides a framework that helps Gentex employees control and minimize the situations that could result in illness, injury, and in extreme cases, death. We focus on improving the working environment to provide conditions that protect and support our employee’s physical, mental, and cognitive health, and enables them to do their best work each day.

At Gentex, employee safety is always top of mind. While we maintain a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) well below the industry average, we remain diligent in finding ways to improve our safety protocols and practices. TRIR is reported annually in several places, including our Sustainability Report.
