Our Purpose

'We engineer innovative electrochemical solutions for global energy & health challenges.'

Results Oriented

We perform contract research programs for commercial clients, government agencies and not-for-profit institutions.

No matter what stage your project or business has reached, the Giner Labs team is ready to give you the best electrochemistry expertise in the way that works best for you. For some clients we provide critical ongoing research resources, for others we deliver intensive support throughout a challenging project, and for others it is occasional expert advice.

Our Customers

Our most important stakeholders are our customers and partners. Many of our customer relationships are going strong after a decade or more – such as our long-term partnership with General Motors

Many innovative start-ups turn to Giner for help with critical electrochemical components for their emerging products and solutions.

Government agencies, such as NASA, NIH, the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, and DARPA, are essential supporters of innovative Research and Development programs.

Our industry partners collaborate on programs where we develop prototypes of components, products and systems for integration into commercial ready solutions. Key industry partners include General Motors, 3M, Collins, Lockheed Martin, Infinity Fuel Cell, Treadwell, and Boeing.

Our History

Giner is a world leader in electrochemical technologies with over 50 years of innovation and success.

Dr. Jose Giner founded Giner Inc. in 1973. Jose was the second oldest of a family of 16 children and was born in Spain. After studying and working in Germany, he moved to the US with his family and held positions at United Technologies and at Tyco, before founding Giner.

In the 1980s, Giner Inc. attracted a talented team of scientists and engineers led by Dr. Tony Laconti. This team brought particular expertise in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) electrolysis, with intellectual roots going back to the Gemini space program.

In the 1990s, Giner began a productive, long-term relationship with General Motors, and for a period there was a Joint Venture between Giner and GM to develop fuel cell and electrolyzer technologies for the automotive market. Giner continues to perform specialist research services for GM and other leading automakers.

Since 2000, Giner has increasingly emphasized commercial translation of its technologies whilst continuing to advance the frontiers of electrochemical innovation; our offerings today include:

World-leading technology to produce life support oxygen in extreme environments, such as the International Space Station and US Navy submarines
Solutions for life support and power generation in future colonies on the moon and Mars
C02 electrolysis to manufacture green chemicals and fuels
Biomedical devices for cell, tissue and organ preservation, including a miniature implantable oxygen generator
Sensors for measuring THC in saliva and blood alcohol levels in real time through your skin
Innovation on demand from our Giner Labs team: electrochemical answers to the toughest technical and business challenges

Tens of thousands of Giner fuel cells and electrolyzers are in use worldwide today. Giner serves customers and OEMs from its research laboratories, manufacturing facilities and corporate offices in Newton, Massachusetts, USA.
