Benefits of joining Samco
WHY CHOOSE SAMCO
Samco is a co-operative buying group owned by its members, operating from offices in Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire. Samco was founded by combining 7 local buying groups from Essex, Hertfordshire, South Cambridge & Suffolk in the early 1960s and later merged with Essex based Shrim in 1992, forming Samco & Shrim Farmers Ltd. Shrim was formed from a group of 5 Essex village buying groups, each represented by a letter in its name. Samco has considerable buying power and attracts keen prices for a diverse range of farm & business products. Samco is led by an experienced board of member directors, where key positions rotate every 3 years. In fact, the chairman on our 50th anniversary was the grandson of our founding chairman!
