Salter Housewares

Salter is a historic British brand that traces its lineages back to the late 1760s in Bilston, England, when Richard Salter began making spring balances. As one of the oldest housewares brands in the UK, it transitioned from industrial scales to domestic kitchen and bathroom scales, becoming a household name across Europe and international markets.

Today, Salter products are primarily manufactured in China to leverage global supply chain efficiencies, though the brand maintains its British design heritage. The brand has undergone several changes in ownership over the centuries, moving from the original Salter family to various private equity groups, and eventually being acquired by large consumer goods conglomerates to expand its digital and smart-home capabilities.

In 2021, the brand was acquired by Ultimate Products, a major global consumer goods provider. This acquisition has integrated Salter into a diverse portfolio of heritage brands, focusing on moving the product line toward modern digital kitchen solutions while maintaining the precision and reliability the brand was founded upon.
