The Gates Corporation World Headquarters is located in Denver, Colorado, employing more than 500 dedicated professionals.

COMPREHENSIVE HISTORY

Over 100 years ago, when Charles C. Gates bought The Colorado Tire and Leather Company in 1911, little did he know his small shop in Denver would evolve into a leading rubber products company. The Gates Rubber Company, as it was called, grew into one of the world’s largest manufacturers of industrial and automotive belts, hoses, and related products. In 1917, John Gates, Charles’ brother, invented the rubber and fabric V-belt and made history. The belt’s success propelled Gates to become the world’s largest manufacturer of V-belts, a title it still holds today.

In 2003, The Gates Rubber Company became Gates Corporation to reflect its expanding range of industrial brands, product lines, and customers. Now into the next 100 years of its history, Gates is focused on its enduring tradition of powering progress through engineering excellence.

This year, Gates Singapore went through a major renovation, which completed in March 2014. This enabled the company’s facilities to handle more comprehensive engineering works and in turn, closely focus on the associated health, safety and environment practices. “With the relevant quality management systems and accreditations in place, customers can be confident when working with Gates. Our compliance to HSE regulations in the industries of oil & gas, heavy marine and shipyard maintenance is what makes us stand out from the competition,” comments the company.

“We offer hydraulics, filtration and pumps expertise to the marine, offshore, oil & gas and industrial sectors,” says the company. With offices in 16 countries, Gates Engineering & Services are strategically located to meet market demands for high quality products and services.
