ABOUT US
Established with a passion for diversity and storytelling, we offer more than just flags, flagpoles, banners, power shades, and power awnings. We are your ultimate destination for high-quality products and exceptional service.
OUR BEGINNINGS
Our company was founded in 1908 by the Chauncey R. Baldwin family and remained in the family until 1985. Throughout our long history, we have always been located and operated in the city of St. Louis, until moving to Brentwood Missouri in March of 2003, expanding and modernizing our facilities. We moved again in March of 2023 to St Louis County outside of Creve Coeur and Chesterfield. We maintain a reputation for quality, efficiency, and prompt delivery and service.
Over the years Baldwin Regalia (the original name) has manufactured or worked with a wide variety of products – many of which we no longer produce. Some of these products include the manufacture of chenille letters, horse blankets, drapes, window valances, pillow tops, jockey suits, and felt caps. Diminishing demand for these products and the introduction of more efficient machines and materials resulted in the company’s departure from these markets in the 1950s and 1960s.
OUR WORK ARE OUTSTANDING!
Today, we are St. Louis’ leading and most experienced manufacturer of custom-designed, banners and flags – which is one of our primary concentrations. The sale of US, state, foreign, military, historic, and religious flags is another large area of our business. A natural outgrowth of flags is flagpoles and we are very active in the distribution, installation, and service of all types of flagpoles in the St. Louis area. In 2024 we started installing power shades and awnings from Summerspace. We are the one of the largest companies in our industry in the state of Missouri and southern Illinois. Our products are shipped throughout the country on a regular basis with state-of-the-art computerized shipping manifest systems.
Acquisitions: 1991 Mr. Sign, 1992 Priesmeyer, 1998 American Eagle, 1999 St. Louis Flag & Banner
With everything we do, whether it be products manufactured in-house or through an extensive network of suppliers, Baldwin/Priesmeyer will continue to provide our customers with the best possible service while maintaining high quality at an excellent price.
