When it comes to industrial or food processing safety gear, every link matters, especially in chainmail PPE. Chainmail mesh PPE is essential in industries like food processing, where employee safety is paramount. Over time, these items can wear out or get damaged. Instead of replacing them, repairing them is a smarter choice.
At International Services, LLC (ISL), we specialize in restoring your chainmail mesh gloves and aprons to their original condition. Choosing to repair instead of replace saves money and is also better for the environment. We believe repairing this all-important gear shouldn’t strain your budget or time.
Choosing the right service for chainmail mesh repair can be the difference between cost-conscious sustainability and budget-blowing waste. Here’s how our Midwest-based, family-owned business will help your plant get every mile out of your chainmail PPE investment.
Family-Owned in the Midwest: Keep your supply chain in the USA
Choosing a family-owned business based in the United States for your chainmail mesh repairs keeps your valuable equipment within the more reliable North American supply chain. Using local services means your operations aren’t affected by overseas shipping delays, dock strikes, tariffs, or other international issues. You get fast, personal service from a team that values quality and customer satisfaction.
When you work with a company rooted in the Midwest, your business benefits from Midwest quality – and value. Our welders are full-time and on-site. With our dedicated senior team members, we can take a team-based approach to bulk repairs and high-volume projects.
Our technicians are skilled artisans who understand the intricacies involved in each repair, ensuring that every piece receives the attention it deserves. With years of experience under our belts, we can quickly diagnose issues and recommend the most effective repair solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Service on Your Time: Always available during US business hours
Working with a US-based chainmail mesh PPE partner ensures you get service when you need it. Our business hours align with yours, making it easy to get help and answers.
Whether you need advice, billing answers, or a rush order on your repairs, we’re available during regular US business hours. This ensures fewer communication delays and a more responsive partnership, giving you peace of mind that we’ll be available when you need us.
Having a partner who’s working when you are just means better support for you and your business. Take it from one of our partners, B.J. Alvarado, Production, Preferred Beef Group: “We have used International Services several times, and we are absolutely delighted with their service,” he said. “From day one, they provided full support and options to fulfill our needs. They took the time to explain their procedures and provided an accurate return expectancy.”
Long-Term Cost Savings: Repair, Don’t Replace
While buying new might seem convenient, and it might speed up the delivery of PPE to your facility, it’s costly and wasteful.
Repairing your chainmail mesh PPE can lead to significant long-term savings. For example, a single new chainmail mesh glove can cost between $60 and $100, but repairing your existing gloves can cost as little as $15 to $20!
Throwing away chainmail mesh personal protective equipment (PPE) instead of getting it repaired contributes to environmental waste, as discarded PPE adds to landfills and can take years to decompose.
Second, steel mesh chainmail is made from materials that require significant resources to produce; throwing it away means wasting those resources.
Instead, repairing your chainmail mesh PPE can extend its lifespan, making it more cost-effective in the long run than purchasing new equipment. Regular maintenance and repair can ensure that the PPE you’ve already invested in remains effective and safe—for a fraction of the cost compared to buying new.
Choosing to repair your chainmail mesh PPE supports sustainability and reduces your overall PPE expenses. Over time, you’ll notice the difference in your bottom line and feel good about making an environmentally responsible choice.

The Repair Process: From Assessment to Restoration
When you send your chainmail mesh PPE to us for repair, we follow a systematic approach to ensure optimal results:
- Evaluate & Initiate Tracking: Upon receiving your gear, our team conducts a thorough inspection to identify all areas that require repair. This assessment helps us understand the extent of wear and damage, allowing us to provide you with an accurate estimate and timeframe for the repair process. Then, we provide your tracking information.
- Disassembly: To restore your equipment to like-new condition, we remove the straps, buckles, and snaps to ensure no debris or materials are left behind from your industrial processes.
- Cleaning and Preparation: Before any repairs take place, we clean the mesh to remove dirt, debris, and contaminants. This step is crucial to preserve the integrity of the material and ensure that any repairs are effective and long-lasting. Your items are fully sanitized.
- AC/DC Weld Repair: Depending on the type and severity of the damage, we’ll use various repair techniques, including re-linking, patching, and reinforcing.
- Replacements: We replace all straps, buckles, and snaps to ensure that you receive a sanitized, like-new product upon return.
