Small Business Networks: The Wire Mesh Connection

We’re building a new social network for small businesses!  One that will bring out new connections to help sustain and grow the business relationships that have existed between some of the companies that are going to be profiled on this site.  We’re starting with the wire mesh connection by bringing first onto this site two companies that have worked together, supporting each other in growing their business for more than ten years now. Link-Access Inc. was started in 2000 by Dr. Sajjan Chandra who saw that there was a market in the United States for stainless steel wire cloth also known as wire mesh. Wire mesh production was going on predominantly in China. Even today, China produces and exports much of the world’s requirements of this product and the US is one of the top consumers.  Sajjan brought his experience from decades of entrepreneurship into this new venture and built a unique model for Link-Access to optimize the cost of wire mesh imports that would otherwise have been prohibitive for small companies whose requirements are often less than a container load.  For Link-Access this required creating a customer base with similar requirements such that their total needs allowed Link to order container loads of wire-mesh and save on shipping costs. As with many of the small companies buying and selling wire mesh, Link-Access is family owned and supports the participation and engagement of senior and retired individuals to continue to be part of and thrive in a business environment.

Although there are hundreds of wire cloth manufacturing companies in China, Link-Access has remained steadfast in working with 2-3 companies for all of its imports and has developed  mutual trust and a respectful business relationship over the years. In addition to Link-Access, we are profiling on this site one of these companies, smaller with respect to the others but managed by an enterprising woman Gladys who has been our supplier for over a decade.

Link-Dynamics is an off-shoot of Link-Access and is designed to bring together our supplier, customer and vendor community together so that we can serve as a one-stop hub to support each of these companies in future products and services.
