Product Description Hand soldering has been transformed by Weller.
The art of hand soldering has existed for thousands of years.
However, it was not until 1941 that a transformer-based instant heating soldering method was developed by an American radio repairman who was tired of waiting for his soldering gun to heat up.
Carl E.
Weller had to wait until after WWII ended in 1945 to establish his Weller Manufacturing Company.
In 1960, the Weller Manufacturing Co.
in the US patented the “Magnate” soldering iron, which used a magnetic component to regulate the temperature at the tip of the iron.
Beginning in 1959, Weller ElektroWerkzeuge GmbH in Besigheim, Germany, along with new plants in other countries, was organized to manufacture temperature-controlled irons and soldering guns for primarily industrial markets throughout Europe and the Near East.
Weller Germany became the market leader for developing and manufacturing hand soldering products worldwide, keeping pace with the increasing complexity of customers’ needs.
Our products were proudly emblazoned with “Made in Germany”, signifying reliability and innovation.
