In  the summer of 1966, “Buddy” Bushnell founded Genie Industries, introducing the Genie® Hoist, a portable pneumatic material lift. The company quickly expanded its product line to include a variety of aerial work platforms. Known to us as GENIE, Genie Industries has become a leading manufacturer of aerial work platforms and material handling equipment. Renowned for its lifts, boom lifts, scissor lifts, and telehandlers, GENIE’s products are widely used in construction, maintenance, and industrial sectors.
