AEI Corporation Teams Up With Gensun for Product Collaboration

5-minute read | News

Gensun and AEI Corporation have joined forces, creating a powerful partnership between two family-owned businesses that prioritize exceptional customer service, high-quality products, and great value. "Our combined product lineup provides customers with the most extensive and well-coordinated selection of outdoor products available," stated Jan Trinkley, President of Gensun, alongside Pete Arnold, President of AEI Corp. "This collaboration allows retailers to offer consumers a seamless shopping experience where they can outfit their entire outdoor space under one roof."

The product offerings from both companies include grills, side burners, beverage centers, refrigerators, patio heaters, and ambiance fire features from AEI Corp., along with furniture, tables, kitchens, fire pits, umbrellas, cushions, and outdoor accessories from Gensun. Both brands pride themselves on delivering top-notch quality, unmatched value, and outstanding customer support. Additionally, both companies are committed to supporting independent retailers and avoid selling directly to large chain stores.

AEI Corp. boasts a rich legacy as the pioneer of the outdoor gas grill. "My dad crafted the very first gas grill in our garage, and I was there to witness it all," recalled Pete. "Now, we’ve evolved our grill lineup with numerous innovations, including our patent-pending automatic timer. This feature automatically shuts off the gas after an hour, which is perfect for backyard gatherings when everyone's having fun or for those who might forget while out enjoying life."

Gensun has long been recognized as the leader in aluminum outdoor furniture and kitchen manufacturing. "We utilize cast, extruded, and stamped aluminum combined with woven vinyl, fabrics, straps, and high-pressure laminates to create stunning furniture and kitchens that endure extreme weather conditions—whether it’s the heat of the desert or the chill of the ocean breeze," explained Jan.

Retailers will soon have the chance to view the full range of products from both companies at the upcoming ICFA Premarket in July and the ICFA Market in September. The duo will also showcase their offerings at various hospitality, design, builder, and multi-family expos throughout the year.
