CARBONDALE, PA, January 9, 2026 — Gentex Corporation has been recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Pennsylvania, an honor that underscores the company’s commitment to creating a high-performing, collaborative, empowered, and people & team-focused workplace culture dedicated to what’s best for the organization and our mission.
The annual survey and recognition program, conducted by the Best Companies Group in partnership with BridgeTower Media and several business journals across Pennsylvania, identifies and celebrates the state’s top employers. Gentex was named one of just 35 organizations in the large company category.
The award is particularly meaningful because it’s based heavily on employee feedback. That employee-driven component makes this recognition especially significant for Gentex. The company’s participation included employees from its Carbondale, Pennsylvania, location, as well as remote team members assigned to the Pennsylvania office and those based in Norwood, Massachusetts, spanning roles in business development, sales, product management, and marketing.
“This recognition is a reflection of the culture we’ve built together,” said Tim Tyler, VP of Human Resources at Gentex Corporation. “We believe that when you invest in people and create an environment where everyone feels valued, amazing things can happen. This award celebrates the heart of our business; our team.”
A Reflection of Continuous Improvement
The recognition highlights Gentex’s ongoing journey to strengthen its organization and employee experience across every level. In recent years, the company has made significant investments in areas such as benefits, benchmarking, compensation, organizational and career development, leadership, and a consistent one-team culture.
This achievement also reflects Gentex’s commitment to continuous improvement through employee input in annual engagement surveys and in everyday conversations that drive meaningful change.
While earning this designation was a goal, Gentex leaders emphasize that the most valuable outcome of the process is the insight gained from employee feedback. That information continues to guide efforts to strengthen the company’s culture and ensure that Gentex remains a great place to work for everyone.
