Why Salem

Julie Needs and the SOD Center have been a critical partner of Salem Welding & Supply over the past decade. Without their help we would have struggled with knowing what grants and resources were available to us. We trusted them to help our growth as we made a land / building acquisition in 2015, and now we trust them to lead us in our new expansion, almost doubling our size & capability!
