A Legacy of Innovation

Salsco's journey began with the development of the Salsco Lawn Maker, a 4-wheel drive unit designed for optimal maneuverability and efficiency in lawn care. This early innovation set the tone for the company's commitment to creating equipment that meets the evolving needs of its customers.

Throughout the 1980s, Salsco introduced several groundbreaking products, including the first Vertical Free-Floating Tine Core Aerator for the lawn care industry and a series of Slicer Seeders. These advancements not only showcased the company's dedication to quality but also solidified its reputation as a leader in turf maintenance solutions.

Diverse Product Line

Today, Salsco offers an extensive range of products catering to various industries. Their lineup includes:

• Golf Course Equipment: Gas and electric greens rollers that ensure perfectly manicured greens.

• Turf & Sports Field Equipment: Tools designed for the maintenance of sports fields and large turf areas.

• Wood Chippers: Both PTO and engine-driven models capable of handling up to 18” capacity, ideal for efficient wood and brush processing.

This diverse product range reflects Salsco's commitment to addressing the unique challenges faced by professionals in multiple sectors.

Commitment to In-House Manufacturing

One of Salsco's distinguishing features is its dedication to in-house manufacturing. All products are designed and produced at their Cheshire facility, ensuring strict quality control and the ability to innovate rapidly. This approach allows Salsco to maintain the high standards that customers have come to expect over the past four decades.

Global Reach with a Personal Touch

Despite its growth, Salsco remains deeply connected to its roots as a family business. Employing over 70 people and working with more than 200 dealers and sales representatives worldwide, the company has managed to maintain a personal touch in its operations. This extensive network ensures that Salsco's high-quality equipment is accessible to professionals across the globe.

Looking Ahead

As Salsco celebrates over 40 years in business, the company continues to look toward the future with plans for expansion and new product development. Their unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction positions them well for continued success in the years to come.

In November 2024, Salsco reached a significant milestone by joining forces with Foley Company, a leading provider of high-quality shop tools for the golf and turf industry. This acquisition marks a new chapter in Salsco's history, promising enhanced growth and innovation for both companies.
