Mayor's Business Spotlight 2025 4th Quarter Winner

Located in the heart of Palm Bay, GEI Works stands as a quiet but powerful force behind some of the most critical infrastructure and environmental solutions used across the country-and around the globe. Founded and operated right here in Florida, GEI Works has grown from a small start-up into a nationally recognized manufacturing company that embodies the values of resilience, innovation, and local pride.

Since its founding, GEI Works has been designing and manufacturing containment, erosion control, and water management products for industries ranging from construction and agriculture to disaster response and military support. But beyond the products it makes, GEI Works has built a reputation for something bigger: building up Palm Bay.

Inside its Palm Bay facility, engineers and skilled technicians create customized solutions-many of them designed in direct response to real-world challenges like hurricane recovery, oil spill containment, and wildfire mitigation. The company's commitment to American-made quality and environmental responsibility has made it a trusted name among government agencies, municipalities, and private sector partners alike.

"Our work has a special meaning, as our products help protect the Indian River Lagoon and erosion control systems that protect our shorelines. We continue to take that responsibility very seriously." says General Manager Karen Allan.

GEI Works also believes strongly in community engagement. From supporting local schools with STEM resources and sponsoring robotics competitions, to donating materials for environmental restoration projects, the company's influence extends well beyond its factory floor. It has partnered with veteran organizations, hurricane relief efforts, and local nonprofits to ensure that its success is shared with those who need it most.

As part of its future-forward vision, GEI Works continues to invest in advanced manufacturing technologies, workforce training, and sustainable materials-ensuring that Palm Bay remains a hub for smart, scalable industry. Whether it's producing custom water barriers for flood prevention or emergency response equipment for FEMA, GEI Works represents the very best of what local innovation can achieve.

In a city known for space, technology, and natural beauty, GEI Works is helping to protect and power communities across the country, all while staying rooted in Palm Bay. It's not just a company-it's a commitment to service, to sustainability, and to homegrown success.

"We are honored to contribute to the economic growth of Palm Bay while carrying forward the tradition of Made in the USA manufacturing" says Karen.

In recognition of its economic contributions to Palm Bay and investment to the community, GEI Works was officially honored with a City Proclamation at the October 2nd Regular City Council Meeting.
