Gates Corporation, based in Denver, Colorado USA, is one of the largest non-tire rubber companies in the world. In 1911, Charles Gates Sr. purchased the Colorado Tire and Leather Company located in southern Denver beside the South Platte River. He paid $3500 for a property that would soon become one of the largest non-tire producing rubber companies in United States. Their first product was called the Durable Tread, a cover attached to the bald tires as an alternative to purchasing new ones.
