Our Hero Origin Story
After countless rips, chemical-covered hands, and frustrated yells, Dan and Scott had enough. The walls of Mutch Bros Automotive had seen it all—gloves tearing too easily, protective gear failing when it mattered most, and prices constantly rising. The lack of reliable PPE was more than just an inconvenience; it was a daily frustration.
Determined to find a solution, they started researching. Could they create gloves that met their high standards without breaking the bank?
This was the beginning of 503 PPE.
Cue Hero Montage
Dan dove headfirst into research, spending hours navigating websites, manufacturers, and safety regulations. Along the way, he learned more about Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) safety standards than he ever expected.
Meanwhile, Scott took on the challenge of testing gloves. He tried dozens of options, but nothing held up. Some gloves melted. Others became brittle after minimal use. Many failed within minutes of exposure to the basic chemicals mechanics use daily.
After what felt like an endless cycle of trial and error, they finally cracked the code. They created the perfect glove—one that was textured for grip, resistant to chemicals and abrasions, and built for long-lasting durability.
This new golden glove was able to withstand all they threw at them.
The Glove That Started It All
Once they put their new gloves to the test, the results were undeniable. Instead of burning through 20+ gloves a day, they each used only two.
Suddenly, glove changes were no longer a frustration. They weren’t swapping gloves simply because they had ripped again. Instead, they had gloves that could actually last through a full shift. Not only did this save time, but it also dramatically reduced waste.
These gloves didn’t just meet OSHA’s safety standards—they exceeded them. They were durable, protective, touchscreen-compatible, and incredibly comfortable. Even better, they remained affordable without sacrificing quality.
At first, their plan was simple: make enough for their shop and maybe sell a few to friends. However, quality gear never stays under the radar for long. Word spread quickly, and before they knew it, demand skyrocketed.
Expanding the Mission
What started with a single glove design quickly expanded into a full line of protective gear. Today, 503 PPE proudly supplies:
- Protective eyewear for laboratories and industrial sites
- Respirators for hazardous work environments
- Hearing protection for machine operators
- And a growing range of essential safety equipment
The list keeps expanding, shaped by the needs of the industries they serve.

At its core, 503 PPE remains dedicated to one simple mission:
Providing high-quality personal protective equipment at reasonable prices.
No matter your industry—construction, healthcare, manufacturing, or general safety—you deserve gear that you can trust to perform when it matters most.
