GENTEX Corporation is rich in history - actually, more than 100 years. The company continues to embrace its founding entrepreneurial spirit, evolving and growing to meet the needs and demands of our many customers. Our skilled production and technical employees take pride in our vision of developing, engineering and manufacturing high-quality products, materials and technologies for world-wide use.

Because many of our products, materials and technologies were present in many historic events, such as NASA Space Shuttle launches and returns, SpaceShip One flights and U.S. Navy's first hard-shell helmets for pilot head protection, and provided valuable work and mission safety and protection for people here and abroad, we invite you to explore more about GENTEX's historic past.

A Note From The Museum's Curator: The GENTEX Museum, a dedicated virtual museum, is continuously being expanded in artifacts and documented information. The exhibits displayed currently contain all archived and researched artifacts possessed by GENTEX Corporation to date. Future efforts are focused on enhancing the scope of the museum, and expanding its collections through public and private acquisitions.

Presently, the GENTEX Museum is a virtual public collection featuring many military helmet exhibits from past decades and various military branches and units.  Additional websites for physical and virtual military museums you may also find helpful include:
