Blackburn Manufacturing

Blackburn Manufacturing Co. produces and fabricates small plastic flags attached to either wire or plastic staffs. The flags are used by construction, survey, public works, utilities, landscaping, soil conservation, farming, forestry, gardening and landscaping companies to identify underground water, gas, electric and cable conduits or pipes. The flags are also used to post signage and delineate construction areas.

Currently, all flag machines are still made in-house according to Bud Blackburn’s original blueprints with only slight modifications made over the years. “The same simplistic principal is still there, technology has just enabled us to make things a little easier and faster today”, says CEO Jim Blackburn. The company currently has 50 employees in Neligh and 5 in Paso Robles, CA and exports flags to Canada, South America, Belgium, Spain, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Puerto Rico, Australia, Italy and Mexico and other countries.
