Founded in 1908, General Motors has expanded from its humble origins to being one of the largest multinational companies. Operating in over thirty-three different countries, General Motors has maintained the title of being one of the worlds dominant automakers since 1931. Having a long history of community involvement, General Motors has been cited for having one of the best human resource management teams, in addition to its avid participation in FIRST Robotics. General Motors is highly regarded by Team 1241 as they have been our primary supporter from day one. Five years ago, Team 1241 started with support and generous funding provided by General Motors to the students. This was the catalyst needed to help Team 1241 blossom into the now reputable team it is.

Attaining the rank of leading global developer of clean energy solutions, Hydrogenics has been a forerunner in commercializing and introduction of hydrogen and fuel cell products.

With the mission of contributing towards a healthier environment and better global quality of life in mind, Hydrogenics is poised for enormous growth as the world shifts energy inclinations toward greener alternatives.
