IT ALL BEGINS
It all began in Oak Lawn, IL in a garage with an idea to meet a need to create something better. Salco recognized a niche to assist in supplying outlet caps in a market that needed a solution to limit theft of valuable steel components. By supplying a plastic outlet cap that was not so attractive to an “alternate” market, Salco quickly became a valued part and solution provider.
