Gentex looks beyond mirrors for next growth wave.

Gentex Corp., a parts supplier based in Zeeland, Michigan, is celebrating its 50th anniversary and is looking to expand beyond its signature auto-dimming rearview mirrors. The company is developing new technologies, such as rearview mirrors with digital video recorders and advanced digital signal processing, as well as dimmable glass for sunroofs and sun visors. Gentex is also working on in-cabin monitoring systems that track driver behavior and passenger presence. The company has formed partnerships with tech firms to incorporate thermal imaging and wireless power technology into its products. Some of these technologies are already on the market, while others are still in development. [Extracted from the article]
