Salute is a proudly Australian owned and operated family business. Established over 35 years ago by Ann and David Hough in South Australia in the Adelaide Hills, the business, originally called Pak Rite, started life in the couple’s garage. A few months later they moved out of their garage into formal premises. As the business and its range grew, the Houghs expanded their operations into the building next to their own.

Today, Ann and David’s son, Bronte and his wife Nicole head up Salute with the support of a great team of 45 employees, with their head office based in Hahndorf in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, and their purpose built Distribution Centre dispatching orders State wide from Direk.
