When Charles Gates Sr. purchased the company “Colorado Tire and Leather” in 1911 for $3,500, he could not have known that his small shop in Denver would evolve into a leading company in rubber products.
 
 
Today, Gates is the only rubber products company that does not manufacture tires, with operations and presence in all major global markets, including North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America.
Every day, customers around the world rely on Gates products, which have countless applications. Belts designed for the automotive industry transmit power from the engine to various technical systems such as air conditioning, pumps, and generators.
 
 
Over the years, Gates has built a reputation as a company offering products of the highest quality.
For Gates, the definition of quality is simple and clear: "To meet or exceed customer expectations through products, services, and expertise unmatched by the competition."
 
Across the world, Gates facilities operate according to the highest quality standards, including ISO and QS-9000.
