About Us

The Gates Flag & Banner Company, Inc. has been in business since 1870. We began as a manufacturer of wooden ladders and flagpoles in Brooklyn, NY. Throughout five generations of the Gates Family, we moved from Brooklyn to Paterson NJ, and eventually to Clifton, NJ where our northern office and retail store currently reside. Lisa Gates-McCormick is the 4th Generation and President. She has been with the company since 1987, and took over ownership when her father, Bill Gates passed away in 2003.

Continuing a Legacy of Craftsmanship

Since 1870, Gates Flag & Banner Company has been dedicated to producing high-quality, American-made flags and banners. Our extensive experience and commitment to excellence ensure that each product meets the highest standards, reflecting our rich heritage and unwavering dedication to our customers.

We are extremely proud of the relationships we have built over the last 150 years. What sets us apart is our dedication to doing things right. We stand behind the quality of our products, and consistently go above and beyond to make sure the product is right for you. A lot of experience has been gained in the last 5 generations, and we pass that along each and every day, to provide the best experience to our customers. In 2017, Lisa’s daughter, Anna Ebersold and her husband Dan (a Lynchburg native) expanded with a second location in Lynchburg, VA, where they reside. Since then, Anna and Dan have continued the legacy of providing quality products, strong knowledge, and unmatched customer service to the surrounding areas.

Really happy with my experience with Gates Flag & Banner. There was a slight relocation problem that was handled quickly and expertly. If I had room for another flag pole I would get one from this company.
