About Us

The Cope Company Salt (TCCS) has been a trusted name in the salt industry since 1968, specializing in products for water softeners, ice melt, and food-grade applications. Over the decades, TCCS has earned its place as a leading supplier for industrial and commercial facilities across the country.

In 1989, the company revolutionized the industry by introducing its own patented salt-delivery solution, the AUTOBrine® system, which has since received two patents. This innovative system continues to set new standards for efficiency and reliability in salt delivery nationwide, backed by TCCS’s unwavering commitment to exceptional service.
