Among the very first small firms to be SBIR funded and still very much program involved across almost all the agencies, Giner, Inc. is anchored in development of electrochemical and proton-exchange membrane (PEM)-based, technology-based products for government, civilian, and industrial uses. The company applies and supplies electrochemical technology to the transportation, defense, biomedical, chemical, and agricultural industries and well as law enforcement and security services. The firm has spun off associated entities specialist in these 'other' fields. The 'original' Giner, Inc. is a world-class research and development firm specializing in the development of proton exchange membrane (PEM) based electrochemical technologies. Now celebrating several decades of success, Giner focuses on: • High Efficiency & high pressure Electrolyzer Systems • Advanced MEA’s for Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers, hydrogen fuel production, and oxygen production for life support • PEM technology on electrochemical sensors and biomedical devices such as self-contained transdermal alcohol sensors and environmental gas sensors. Giner makes custom gas generation systems for needs as diverse as oxygen supply for undersea breathing systems and hydrogen for laboratory-based flame ionization detectors. They manufacture sensors and sensor systems that measure blood alcohol levels without blood, warn of toxic gases, detect security threats, and insure safe breathing air. They even make devices for the support of living tissue during transport. Giner Electrochemical Systems, LLC (GES) is a subsidiary of Giner, Inc., established May 2000, as an arms-length alliance between Giner, Inc. and General Motors Corporation (GM). GES is an independent business, majority-owned, controlled and operated by Giner, Inc. The alliance with GM allows us to help develop commercially-viable fuel cells for the next generation of transportation and stationary power systems. GES is also focused on the development and commercialization of related electrochemical technologies, including electrolyzers, sensors and capacitors for a range of applications.
