Gentherm Incorporated's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
We may experience additional competition directly from automobile manufacturers or other major suppliers, most of which have the capability to manufacture competing products. We believe that our products will compete successfully on the basis of performance, quality, and price.
Our power generation systems compete with other technologies, such as photovoltaic solar panels, and fuel cells, to deliver power to different types of oil and gas market applications. Our products have earned a reputation for delivering highly reliable power under extreme climatic and weather conditions to locations that do not offer access to an electrical grid. In addition to quality and performance, our ability to design and support custom solutions that integrate directly with an application’s existing infrastructure give our products a competitive advantage over products based on other technologies.
