Located in Northbridge, MA, Riverdale Mills is a manufacturer and distributor of premium quality welded wire mesh for the marine, security, construction and agriculture industries.

Today, 45% of Riverdale's products are exported to clients around the world. Riverdale Mills wire mesh is also used by security experts, poultry farmers, horticulturists and construction management firms.
