Salem Tool Company

Salem Tool Company was founded by Leonard Bourgoin in 1983 in Northville, Michigan. Over the years, the company earned a reputation for excellence in CNC Machining and manufacturing high-precision, high quality machined products. Some 30 years ago, Leonard was approached by a local engineering firm that was experiencing problems with a dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) manufactured by a company out of state. The firm was hoping that Leonard could help resolve issues with the penetrometer, including frequent breakage and parts wearing out prematurely. It was Leonard’s ability to evaluate and troubleshoot a problem dynamic cone penetrometer that led to Salem Tool Company becoming a well respected manufacturer of quality soil testing products. Leonard soon introduced Salem Tool Company’s first product, the (DCP), which has proven itself as a real workhorse, providing users with many years of reliable service.
