What began as a brainstorming session of a handful of engineers around a card table in 1989 has evolved into a worldwide collaborative effort of thousands of colleagues. Garmin’s goal, as it was then, remains simple: To create navigation and communication devices that can enrich our customers’ lives. Our innovative products span various areas of interest, including automotive, aviation, marine, fitness and outdoor recreation.

This year Garmin celebrates its 21st anniversary and will look forward to continued innovation in the future. Investing in innovation has been central to Garmin’s success. The original handful of employees in 1989 grew to a work force of 1,000 just 10 years later. Today Garmin has approximately 7,000 employees globally and continues to grow amid expansion in Europe and Asia.

At Garmin we’re always thinking of ways to adapt and improve and you never know how the next great idea will be born. But you know it’s coming soon.
