Apex Tool Group
- Carl Weller founded Weller Electric Co. in Easton, Pennsylvania in 1945 and invented the torch in the same year. He found a service approach to the fast-growing radio repair market. The invention was followed by the invention of the first soldering iron in 1950, followed by the invention of the first temperature-controlled soldering iron in 1976.
Weller expanded its business to Europe in 1959. In the company's development, Weller has always been committed to developing forward-looking products for the consumer and industrial markets.
Weller has established a seven-person research and development team with a large number of patents and awards, which fully demonstrates the company's commitment to technology development.
The Weller University Training Center was established in 2007 in Apex, North Carolina. More than 100 people are trained each year.
