Integrated Sports Specialties

OUR MISSION:

TO PROVIDE CUSTOM SOLUTIONS FOR EQUIPMENT MANAGERS ACROSS THE NATION.

At ISS, we know that laundry needs vary from North to South and East to West.  Every team deals with different colors, fabrics, equipment, and water supplies. We truly believe that a multifaceted approach is absolutely vital to the success of any Equipment Room.

 

Simple, "cover-all" products and processes are no match for ISS's customized solutions, world class products, and our passion for getting the best results for our customers...NO MATTER WHAT.

MEET THE TEAM BEHIND YOUR TEAM

For Equipment Managers. By Equipment Managers.

 

We built our team around people with hands on experience in the challenges you face every day.
