80 YEARS OF WELLER
80 YEARS OF WELLER TOOLS:
CONNECTING THE FUTURE OF SOLDERING
For 80 years, Weller Tools has stood for innovation
and reliability, shaping the world of soldering and
enabling countless creators, engineers, and visionaries
to bring their ideas to life. From the humble beginnings
of Carl Everet Weller‘s first soldering invention in 1945
to becoming a global leader in soldering solutions,
Weller‘s journey is one of passion, innovation, and a
commitment to excellence. Now, as we celebrate our
80th anniversary, we look to the future with the same
pioneering spirit – inviting the next generation of
solderers to join us as Future Originals.
The legacy of Carl Everet Weller:
A foundation of innovation
The story of Weller Tools begins with Carl Everett Weller
in Pennsylvania, USA, with a vision to transform
soldering into an art of precision and efficiency. His
groundbreaking invention, the first soldering gun,
revolutionized the way electronics were assembled.
This innovation laid the foundation for a legacy of
excellence that would continue to evolve over the
decades. From the post-war boom of electronics
manufacturing to the digital age, Weller has been at
the forefront of every major technological revolution.
With each new challenge, we’ve pushed the
boundaries of what soldering can achieve—ensuring
that our tools empower users to create with precision,
safety, and confidence.
Empowering the Future Originals
At Weller, we believe in the power of individuality and
creativity. Every solder joint tells a story, and every
project is a step toward a brighter, more connected
future. As we celebrate our past, we are committed to
inspiring the next generation of soldering enthusiasts,
engineers, and innovators – whom we proudly call
the Future Originals. They are dreamers and doers
who will shape the next era of technology. They
are the students tinkering with circuits, the makers
experimenting in their garages, and the professionals
solving today’s most complex challenges. Weller’s
mission is to equip them with the tools and knowledge
they need to succeed. But we are more than a tool
manufacturer – we are partners in innovation, working
side by side with the soldering community to turn
ideas into reality.
PowerfulTogether: The Power of Products

At Weller Tools, we believe in the seamless integration
of man and machine. Our tools are designed to
