Farm equipment manufacturer acquires Norwich, Ontario facility

Monday, December 21, 2015

by SUSAN MANN

North American tillage manufacturer Salford Group Inc. is expanding its equipment line through the acquisition of the AerWay agricultural equipment division from SAF-Holland Canada Ltd.

Anson Boak, marketing manager for Salford Group Inc., says their plan is to maintain the AerWay products manufactured at the Norwich facility that Salford bought. The deal closed Dec. 11. The purchase price was not disclosed.

The AerWay line purchase is the latest acquisition by Salford Group during the past year. Boak says “the acquisitions that we’ve been making in the last 12 to 14 months have not only expanded our product offering, but improved the equipment we have available for application. There’s a lot of cross fit between the different product lines, especially when you talk about Salford tillage and seeding equipment and AerWay tillage equipment.”

Boak says they could begin combining different components and “engineer new products.”

The AerWay equipment made in Norwich includes tillage machinery, machinery for working in vineyards along with attachments for pasture renovation, manure management and application.

“The plan for the time being is to maintain their product offering as it was,” he says.

Salford and AerWay had a previous relationship with the AerWay plant assisting Salford to manufacture products and AerWay buying some components from Salford for its equipment, Boak explains.

Salford Group was founded in 1978 and is one of North America’s leading manufacturers of primary and secondary tillage equipment along with fertilizer application machinery. The company has manufacturing facilities in Canada, the United States and Russia. BF
