GMS Wins "Business Of the Year" Award in Martin County, Florida

General Micro Systems (GMS) East has been named the 2017 Business of the Year from the Business Development Board of Martin County, Florida (BDBMC). GMS, whose East Coast offices are based in Stuart, Fla., is the industry expert in highest-density, modular, compute-intensive, and rugged small form-factor embedded computing systems, servers and switches for defense, aerospace, medical, industrial and energy exploration applications.

The BDBMC, Martin County's official economic development organization and Enterprise Florida, Inc. partner, said GMS and the other companies recognized in various categories within the Business Appreciation Awards “provide quality jobs, help expand the local tax base, and, due to the contributory nature of their businesses, help drive positive economic activity in virtually all sectors of our local economy.”

In announcing the award, GMS and the company’s CEO Ben Sharfi was cited as having “demonstrated business excellence, leadership and vision....[raising] the bar for other high tech businesses to follow” in Martin County.

“We couldn’t ask for a better location—or better people—for our East Coast operations than what we’ve found here in Martin County,” Sharfi said. “This has been an incredible year for GMS, and we expect 2018 to be even better, with more growth here as we work to increase our business further into non-military commercial applications that require the rugged servers and other technologies that only GMS can provide.”
