Welcome to Genesis Engineering

Established in 1993, GES, Inc. has excelled in technology development and commercialization; serving government customers as well as both domestic and international commercial customers. GES has been recognized by the Prince Georges TECH Council, winning Small Business Awards in 2006. Most recently,  NASA's Office of Small Business Programs awarded Genesis as Small Business Prime Contractor of the Year 2011. Our Aerospace Division has protected over 150 critical parts into orbit for Hubble Space Telescope servicing missions, and is participating in NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO), Composite Crew Module (CCM) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) projects from conceptual development, design, analysis, fabrication, and testing. Our Commercial Technologies Division is researching and developing Laser Dry Cleaning technology and tooling to support both the Flat Panel and Semiconductor industries.
