History

Salco, Inc. is a family owned business that started in the late 1960's on a part time basis. Sal Sanicola, the founder, and his 2 partners started out using a rented truck to make pallet pick-ups and deliveries. When the company first started, all pallet repairs were manually done in the basement of a building in downtown Milwaukee.

In 1971, the Company grew from a part time venture to a full time operation business and within 1 year it was incorporated as Salco, Inc.  As Salco, Inc. expanded and gained recognition, it moved three times to secure a larger warehouse and an outdoor storage area in order to provide better services to its growing clientele.

In 1995, Sal's partners retired and Sal became sole owner. His son, Lou Sanicola joined him shortly thereafter to assist him in managing the company. Another major expansion occurred in 1996 when Salco Inc. opened a plant in Oak Creek, WI.  Salco Inc. installed a fully automated pallet repair assembly line in the Oak Creek plant and since then has expanded not only its facility but also its fleet and its personnel, all in an effort to become a  full service company that provides a wide array of solutions all under one roof.

Sal retired at the end of 2007 leaving behind a credible, reputable and well experienced company under the management of Lou who has expanded and maintained a loyal clientele throughout the years.  Today, Salco Inc. has over 20 employees, 30 semi-trailers and a fleet of trucks that continues to grow to meet the demands and expectations of Salco’s customer base.
