Job Description
Industrial Engineer
Salford Group Inc. was founded in 1978 by Jake Rozendaal, then a recent immigrant from Holland who had a degree in agriculture, with experience on his father’s farm and training as a mechanic and a welder. He seemed to be able to listen and quickly understand what farmers were trying to accomplish in the field. He would then design and create the machinery needed to accomplish the task.
Today, even though Salford is still based in the same location, the company has expanded from its humble roots. Salford has become a global company that markets machinery worldwide. In order to support their expanding distribution network of nearly 300 North American Salford dealers, and keep up with growing demand for their product, Salford has invested in a manufacturing facility in Iowa, Georgia; and multiple parts distribution centers in Canada, the United States and Russia.
