History

With offices across the US, Newsom Salvage – founded by Jim and Penny Newsom in 1979 – has come a long way from our start as a small, family-owned salvage company in Glen Allan, Mississippi, but we’ve never strayed from our founding principles of consistent, professional and comprehensive service.

Because of our years of experience we are well versed in all types of situations involving commodity and industrial salvage, saving insurance carriers and commodity owners millions of dollars in losses.

What started as an occasional phone call because of a damaged barge or truckload of fertilizer has turned into a formidable business. We’ve branched out from local Delta fertilizer and grain suppliers to Mississippi River barges and oceangoing vessels and are now serving clients with international operations.
