ZEELAND, Mich., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gentex Corporation
(Nasdaq: GNTX), the leading supplier of automatic-dimming mirrors to the
worldwide automotive industry, has begun shipping interior automatic-dimming
mirrors for the all-new Ford Five Hundred sedan, Ford Freestyle sport wagon,
and the Mercury Montego mid-size sedan.
Gentex auto-dimming mirrors automatically darken to reduce glare from the
headlamps of vehicles approaching from the rear. The brighter the glare, the
darker the mirrors become, making nighttime driving safer.
The auto-dimming mirror is a standard feature on the Montego. A base
automatic-dimming mirror is standard on the Five Hundred and Freestyle SEL and
Limited trim levels.
"Ford launched its 'Year of the Car' campaign by offering a whole new
family of vehicles, and it's great to see our auto-dimming mirrors debut on
many of them," stated Garth Deur, Gentex Executive Vice President.
Founded in 1974, Gentex Corporation (The Nasdaq Stock Market: GNTX) is an
international company that provides high-quality products to the worldwide
automotive industry and North American fire protection market. Based in
Zeeland, Michigan, the Company develops, manufactures and markets interior and
exterior automatic-dimming automotive rearview mirrors that utilize
proprietary electrochromic technology to dim in proportion to the amount of
headlight glare from trailing vehicle headlamps. Many of the mirrors are
sold with advanced electronic features, and more than 95 percent of the
Company's revenues are derived from the sales of auto-dimming mirrors to
nearly every major automaker in the world.
