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. We are proud to announce that the Salco legacy continues expanding. In 2016 Lou’s son, Joe, joined the company.
At SALCO, we are committed to offering outstanding quality, customer service and timely deliveries to our customers no matter the size of their order. Our team is composed of loyal and experienced employees who will strive to assist our customers and provide the best and most cost effective solutions depending on our customer’s individual needs.
Our mission is to treat our customers as one more of our family members, to become their lifetime partner and to be the one-stop-shop for all of their pallets needs.
Salco along with a variety of partners have manufacturing facilities that can meet any large quantity pallet order using automated pallet assembly. All of the pallet design specs are programmed into a computer system. Then precut stringers and deck boards are fed into the machine. The state-of-the-art pallet assembly machine can build up to 2,000 pallets per 8-hour shift depending on our customer’s individual needs and requirements.
Salco’s primary business is recycling 48" by 40" four-way pallets. We also recycle some additional size wooden pallets. The value of each of your buyable pallets is primarily dependent on the size and general condition of the pallet. The price will also depend on the quantity purchased and the presence of significant amounts of non-standard or non-reparable pallets.
As a service to our customers, we can also remove non-standard wooden pallets from their facilities. Wood from odd size pallets is reclaimed and reused in our recycling operations when possible. The non-reusable wood for pallets is sorted and shipped to another company, one of our partners, for processing into landscape wood chips, animal bedding, or alternative wood fuel.
Salco is well known in the industry for its fast turnaround and for meeting our customer’s deadlines.
Orders of standard pallets are delivered within one business day. Custom orders or new pallets will be processed in a timely manner to meet our customer’s specific timeframe.
We are committed to delivering our customer’s orders on time. An experienced administrative team at Salco manages all pending orders in the order they are received.
Our team of over 20 loyal and dedicated employees along with our fleet of semi-tractors and 30 trailers enable us to maintain top-notch delivery service. Our experienced drivers are committed to meeting their deadlines, to being safe on the road and to being courteous and professional with each of our customers.
By having our own fleet, Salco has the advantage and flexibility of being able to control our delivery schedule and modifying routes as needed.
