About Salter

For over 260 years, Salter Housewares, the UK’s leading weighing scales brand have been manufacturing precision technology for the home. From their beginnings in 1760 right through to the present day, Salter’s products have been developed to enable total confidence in their accuracy. Salter began life in 1760 in the village of Bilston, England. At this time Richard Salter, a spring maker, began making ‘pocket steelyards’, a scale similar to the fisherman’s scale of today.
