What We Do

Goken America is an engineering & technology services company that works collaboratively to make a notable difference for its clients, team members, and the communities in which its employees live and work. Goken understands that to achieve real change, its associates must be empowered. They must have the tools to explore and build, and the passion to share empathy and understanding. The key to Goken’s singular business model is the company’s relentless drive to be more than a technical services company. This means that Goken leaders must place uncommon trust and value in the teams and the talent who facilitate the organization’s fearless approach to problem-solving and client engagement. To uncover the root causes of workforce issues, faltering production cycles, and other challenges, empowered Goken associates take the time to immerse themselves in client cultural underpinnings. Then, Goken adds competitive value with a multi-dimensional approach that requires more than simply adding human capital. Instead, striking the perfect balance between a customer’s wants and needs, Goken infuses change techniques with technology; skills training with organizational development; and staffing projects with managed services. Rather than a blueprint of static deliverables, Goken is a nimble provider of engineering and technology solutions that, because they are sustainable and repeatable, accelerate product development and deliver clients the advantage of time. Time to get ahead of the competition. Time to focus on business development. Time to innovate and shape trends. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Goken has been making a difference for clients in the automotive, medical device, and aerospace industries since 2004.
