Allied Materials & Equipment Co. is an American manufacturer and government contractor located in Kansas City, Mo. Among its products are flags. Allied has manufactured American flags for more than 15 years, and because the United States government is the largest purchaser of its flags, they are produced to the exacting standards of the Department of Defense, the General Services Administration and the Veterans Administration. American flags produced by Allied are flown over the United States Capitol, after which they are used to commemorate special occasions or presented as gifts of appreciation with a certificate of authenticity from the architect of the Capitol.
Allied donated the flags that were displayed at the National WWI Museum and Memorial on Memorial Day 2015. In addition, Allied has agreed to make a gift to the Museum of five percent of its sales revenue generated through a sponsor code ("Museum5") entered on USFlagstore.com or through the USFlagstore.com link on the Museum’s website. The Museum is grateful for this strong support from a local business, especially one whose product relates so closely to the Museum’s own mission of patriotism and remembrance.
