Salem Rebrands and Restructures
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – There’s a new name and new look for the Salem group of companies serving fabricators in a number of industries.
Salem Distributing Company, Inc. will evolve into Salem Fabrication Technologies Group Inc., with the name change representing the company across all of the industries in which it offers machinery, tools, supplies, equipment and services.
Under Salem Fabrication Technologies Group, two distinct divisions will continue to focus on technology and fabrication solutions in the glass industry.
The first division, offering tooling, surfacing supplies and equipment solutions, will be known as Salem Fabrication Supplies, headed up by President Dan Reinhart, who previously held the position of vice president of Sales & Marketing for Salem Distributing.
“Customers will continue to find top-of-the line, high-quality diamond and polishing wheels, drills and router bits as well as polishing compounds, abrasives, coolants and material-handling equipment,” Reinhart said. “The knowledgeable and customer-service-oriented sales staff servicing this division are our same employee-owners that customers have come to trust and rely on”.
Salem Fabrication Supplies was formerly known in specific industries as SALEM Flat Glass & Mirror, SALEM Stone, SALEM Vision and SALEM Advanced Surfaces before the restructuring.
A second division created will entirely focus on glass fabrication machinery and technical services. HHH Tempering Resources, acquired by Salem in July 2019, will become HHH Equipment Resources.
Salem and HHH machinery engineers and technical experts will come together under this division to focus on customers’ machinery needs and will offer an even wider range of fabrication equipment, in addition to providing extended U.S.-based fabrication and glass-tempering technical upport and service. Mike Synon will continue as president of HHH.
“Salem is thrilled to evolve with a cutting-edge approach to build on our fabrication industry experience. I look forward to combining this expertise with our technical knowledge, innovative equipment and superior customer service to bring a new standard to the industry,” said Salem CEO Mike Willard.
Salem Fabrication Technologies Group is a 100% employee-owned certified company founded in 1934 with sales representatives and support staffs strategically located throughout the United States and Canada. Salem is an industry-leading supplier of fabrication machinery, tooling, supplies and technical service expertise for flat glass, stone, ophthalmic, precision surfacing and more.
