In 2015 Goken further cemented its presence in Dublin, Ohio. Our 17,000-square-foot headquarters underwent a complete rehaul to house Goken's Technology Center (GTC). The building has five dedicated workspaces that accommodate up to 130 cubicles, several offices, and meeting rooms. The Goken Tech Center is an open floor plan housing a diverse and talented group of engineers, technical specialists, and administrative support. The Tech Center is a secure facility that enables staff to conduct sensitive work for our clients. ​​​

Founder's Note
In 2004, we created Goken America with a mission to provide the best talent and services to all of our clients while at the same time providing an unparalleled experience.  The notion was to provide a different experience for our clients, our associates, and for our communities and society in general.

For the last sixteen years, we have been “creating something different…”  Now it’s “Time to Innovate.”  To me, our new tagline, “Time to Innovate” hit the nail on the head.  It shows how Goken has evolved from being a nimble provider of engineering and staffing solutions to a company that now focuses on delivering a wide variety of solutions with high productivity. As we move forward, we continue to focus on leveraging our talent and years of experience to innovate our own internal solutions while providing our clients the time to shape future trends... The Time To Innovate.

Goken’s leadership recognized the shortcomings of an outdated logo, website, and a lacking vocalization of who Goken is. We wanted to refresh our look, create a strong image around who we really are, and create a brand that will help us expand our reach and evolve into a global multi-industry competitor. In the last couple of years, Goken has invested in building and expanding our tech center capabilities to deliver both automotive   and non-automotive projects.

In 2020 alone we supported multiple medical companies on various projects. One company manufactures ultra-low temperature freezers. These freezers are on the frontlines of the fight against COVID-19 transporting and storing new and future vaccines. We are also working with a med-tech startup to take over the entire product development of a patient mobility system. This high-tech device functions as a hospital bed, wheelchair, and patient transfer system all working on an electric drive train. Prototypes of this product will be produced midway through 2021. These are just a few examples of the doors that I believe this new brand and our associates will continue to open for Goken in the years to come. We have come a long way from the company we were back in 2004 and I strongly believe that together we will continue to grow and prosper.
