Salter kitchen and bathroom scales

Salter is one of the oldest housewares brands in the world, with a heritage dating back to 1760 in Bilston, England. Originally founded by Richard Salter, the company became renowned for inventing the spring balance in Britain. Over its long history, the brand expanded from industrial scales to domestic kitchen and bathroom scales, becoming a household name in the United Kingdom.

In recent years, the brand's ownership has transitioned to global consumer goods corporations. While the engineering and design concepts often retain their British heritage, the physical manufacturing of the modern electronic and mechanical scales is primarily conducted in China. Today, Salter continues to be a market leader in the UK for weighing scales, maintaining its reputation for accuracy and durability under international corporate management.
