Our Roots
KSA was founded in 1935 by German textile engineer Kurt Salmon. Though the firm's size and scope have expanded far beyond Kurt's original concepts, the firm works zealously to maintain the unique culture he created.

Today, the organization continues to reflect Kurt's values and personality in its business and community activities.
