Forward Thinking From the Ground Up
First launched in 2010, YellowGate is a subsidiary of SixAxis, Manufacturing Technologies, located in Andrews, South Carolina. SixAxis was launched by two sales-guys-turned-entrepreneurs who, in 2002, broke off from a now-competitor to go out on their own because they felt they could do things better. Built quite literally from dirt floors up, the company has grown into a sustainable conglomerate of forward thinking companies, breaking boundaries every day to develop leading edge technologies and innovation within the safety and access industry.

YellowGate Culture
We’re proud of our trailblazing technology, but the minds behind it are what truly make us tick. By blending cutting-edge robotics with our skilled workforce, we’ve driven our labor rate from 38 to 7 percent without any layoffs. In fact, we’re looking to hire.
SixAxis is based in the U.S. — and we’re committed to keeping things homegrown. While other industrial companies outsource work overseas, we’ve stayed domestic by keeping processes efficient, technologies advanced, and our staff highly skilled. Because of this, we’re thriving across the local and global economies.
