== History ==
Gerin-Lajoie Weaponeering was established during [[Operation Kipling]], to improve on the [[Second Great War]] innovations that [[Burgundie]] was still relying on. In the grander context of the [[Occidental Cold War]], GLW sought to bolster [[LOTA]] defense capabilities in the face of escalating global tensions. Galois-Michel Remonet deGerin, a former armor colonel in the [[Army of Burgundie]], and Andre-Jacques Chuquet Lajoie, a mechanical engineering student whose father had died in the Audonian campaigns, shared a common vision to improve the safety and effectiveness of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Development of armored warfare in Burgundie|armor]]. Drawing inspiration from deGerin's experiences during the [[Second Great War]], which highlighted the critical need for advanced and adaptable weapons systems, they set out to establish a company that would specialize in the development and production of cutting-edge turrets.
From its modest beginnings in a small workshop nestled in the outskirts of Fort Monteneri, Gerin-Lajoie Weaponeering quickly gained recognition for its unparalleled commitment to technological innovation and uncompromising dedication to precision engineering. Leveraging their extensive military and engineering backgrounds, deGerin and Lajoie spearheaded the design and production of a series of groundbreaking tank and armored car turrets that swiftly garnered the attention of military strategists and defense officials from the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]].
In the 1970s and 1980s, the company introduced a series of computer-aided turrets that integrated advanced targeting systems, sophisticated fire control mechanisms, and high durability. These innovations positioned Gerin-Lajoie Weaponeering as a pivotal contributor to military advancements during the tumultuous period marked by regional conflicts and geopolitical instability.
As the company expanded its operations, it forged strategic partnerships with other leading defense contractors and government agencies (including the [[National Gendarmerie of Burgundie]]), establishing a formidable network of collaborators and clients across the [[Burgoignesc Security Forces]]. Gerin-Lajoie Weaponeering's unwavering commitment to survivability and its relentless pursuit of technological superiority earned it a distinguished status within the defense manufacturing industry.
In the 21st century, the company continues to push the boundaries of innovation, emphasizing the integration of artificial intelligence, autonomous targeting systems, and advanced materials into its state-of-the-art weapon systems, like the [[HERMES Collaborative Combat Network]]. By adapting to the evolving security landscape and anticipating emerging threats, Gerin-Lajoie Weaponeering sustained its position as a vanguard of technological ingenuity, contributing significantly to the modernization and effectiveness of the [[Burgoignesc Security Forces]].

[[File:GLW HQ.jpeg|right|200px]]
Situated at the heart of Fort Monteneri, the company's headquarters was designed by the famous [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] modernist architectural firm deLicate Touche in [[2016]]. The location that was acquired was an old [[Operation Kipling]]-era ammunition storage, superfund site that GLW got for free from the government but had to clean up before construction could begin. Clean up lasted from [[2017]]-[[2023]] and cost around $5.4 million. Construction lasted from [[2023]]-[[2025]] and was overseen my O'Shea Infrastructure and Design.
The building features a sleek, contemporary façade adorned with reflective glass panels and polished metal accents, showcasing the company's commitment to innovation and forward-thinking design. Emphasizing both functionality and aesthetic appeal, the headquarters is characterized by its striking angular contours and a series of integrated solar panels that exemplify the company's dedication to sustainable practices and energy efficiency.
Upon entering the building, visitors are greeted by a spacious and meticulously designed lobby adorned with artistic installations celebrating the company's history and contributions the [[Burgoignesc Security Forces]].
The headquarters hosts a state-of-the-art auditorium and conference center, equipped with the latest audiovisual technology, facilitating global symposiums, product showcases, and strategic collaborations with international partners and military stakeholders.
The building, completed in [[2025]], incorporates sustainable practices throughout its infrastructure, boasting eco-friendly features such as a green rooftop garden, energy-efficient lighting systems, and a comprehensive waste management program.
