Boston Industrialist Benjamin Bates formed Bates Manufacturing, a textile mill in Lewiston, Maine, in 1850. The company, in various forms and under various owners, would continue to do business for almost 150 years, developing a national reputation for its elegant bedspreads and other stylish fabrics.
Although the textile industry in America has changed over the years, we continue to be the factory direct supplier of Bates style and quality throws, coverlets, shams and bedspreads. These bedspreads are woven by the last generation of Bates employees, who are now the first generation of employees of Maine Heritage Weavers.
