Gates R Us Competitors

Just over 19 years ago, three ambitious individuals strolled into a modest office on Henley Beach Road in suburban Adelaide with a shared vision. Their dream was to provide quality outdoor lifestyle products backed by the very best in customer service. Australian Outdoor Living (AOL) was open for business… and what a journey it has been! We’ve grown throughout the years without losing that special family-owned culture that sets us apart from the rest. That culture is what makes us tick, and we’re proud to be able to showcase it to our customers on a daily basis. We’ve also taken our great business model interstate, with offices in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane and Canberra, as well as our ‘home’ city of Adelaide. Our products – including Outdoor Blinds, Artificial Lawn, Roller Shutters, Verandahs, Pergolas, Timber Decking and Outdoor Kitchens – and services have helped to make us a true market leader in outdoor home improvements across the country. We’re clearly doing a lot right when it comes to outdoor home improvements, and we’re constantly welcoming countless more Australians to our growing family of happy customers. Australian Outdoor Living is a very exciting company that continues to flourish as the months and years go by. With about 250 passionate team members, AOL continues to pave the way in outdoor home improvements. Our dedication to improving the lives and lifestyles of Aussie families across the country will never waver, and we look forward to working with many more in the years to come.

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. In 2011, Gates Corporation marked 100 years of innovation and service, and celebrated our position as a world leader in engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of industrial and automotive belt and hose products, systems, components and services. From our modest beginning, Gates Corporation has charted a global course that has seen the company expand into 100 locations, 30 countries and has more than 14,000 global employees. Gates Corporation Australia operates from a distribution center in Dandenong South and provides a strong coverage of our markets through a dedicated field sales team, located in each state, servicing all states and territories as well as New Zealand. Additionally, Gates services the oil and gas market in Australia with the Gates Engineering & Services facility in Perth.
