The company began in 1966 with the introduction of the Genie Hoist, a portable, pneumatic material lift. We quickly gained worldwide recognition with additional material lifts and a series of aerial work platforms, each one representing a breakthrough in product design. Thirty years later, Genie remains at the forefront of innovative design and quality production. Our lifts are the first choice on construction and industrial sites around the world.

People are the key to our success. Genie has grown from a small core group into a team of more than 1905 engineers, craftsmen, and customer service staff. The goal of this team is complete customer satisfaction, for every customer. To reach this goal, our people excel in four areas:

We set high quality standards for each step of the manufacturing process, from design to distribution. We monitor our own performance against these standards to assure reliable products.

We continuously improve our lifting equipment to meet the needs of an ever-changing market. Our efforts to produce better products and harness new technology have earned numerous patents worldwide.

We deliver the most comprehensive technical support system in the industry. Our team members work together to keep Genie equipment on the job longer.

We provide our customers with superior value by selling products with ideal capabilities, for a variety of applications, at competitive prices.

Genie products are built in seven specialized manufacturing plants comprising nearly one million square feet. We currently serve customers in 72 countries and continue to expand our global distribution network. Genie is a privately-owned company headquartered in Redmond, Washington, USA, with branch offices in the United Kingdom and Western Europe.
