50 Years of Excellence:
Innovation, Craftsmanship, and Trust
Gates Manufacturing is a family-owned company with a proud legacy of designing, engineering, and fabricating high-quality conveyor systems and floor troughs for commercial food service facilities. For over five decades, we’ve been committed to delivering products that embody precision, durability, and exceptional performance.
That’s why we offer over a half dozen belt designs, from slats to fabric to rollers. And that’s why we employ a staff of designers and engineers – so that we can work with our customers from a project’s conception to build a system that suits their specific needs.
So instead of a system configured from ‘off-the-shelf’ modules, your Gates solution will fit your space and needs precisely – including custom fabricated shelves and tables, and fixtures, if necessary – and will provide years of low maintenance service, whatever your budget.
Built in the Heartland, Trusted Nationwide
Located in St. Louis, Missouri, Gates Manufacturing provides complete, turnkey tray make-up and soiled dish conveyor systems for a diverse range of institutions. From hotels and casinos to hospitals, senior care facilities, schools, and correctional facilities, our systems are trusted across the country to streamline operations and ensure efficiency.
A Team Dedicated to Your Success
With skilled designers, engineers, fabricators, and installation technicians all under one roof, we offer a seamless project experience—from initial concept to final installation. This integrated approach ensures every detail is executed with the same world-class quality and attention to detail that defines our conveyor systems.
Decades of Innovation and Leadership
When you choose Gates, you’re choosing over 50 years of industry leadership and expertise. Every component, drive system, and weld reflects decades of refinement and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
