Salford Completes Ontario Facility Expansion

Salford Farm Machinery Limited, Salford, Ontario, has completed a 54,000 square foot expansion at its Ontario facility that increases the company’s total manufacturing footprint to more than 170,000 square feet.

“We broke ground on this project in July 2011,” said Geof Gray, general manager at Salford. “Now that construction is complete, we are in the process of bringing the expanded facility online for the benefit of our farmer and dealer customers. This expansion is about more than just increasing our production capacity. We have also enhanced our product development and testing capabilities, for example, which are also key contributors to our ongoing ability to deliver the innovative and durable products that farmers have come to expect from the Salford brand.”

The expansion also brings improvements to the production process itself. “With the increased space and capacity, we’ve been able to re-design and streamline production,” said Gray. “We’ve improved the flow in the plant and the additional space allows us to better handle bigger equipment, such as the 60 foot Residue Tillage Specialist (RTS) vertical tillage tool and our new 70 foot precision air drill.”
