Product Description
transforms hand solde The of hand solde has been around for a very, very long time, thousands of years in fact. But it was only until 1941 that a transformer based instant heating solde method was developed by an impatient American radio repairman who was tired of sitting around waiting for his soldering gun to heat up. Carl E. had to wait until after WWII ended in 1945 to get his Manufacturing Company going. In 1960, the Manufacturing Co. in the US patented the Magnastat soldering iron which used a magnetic component to regulate the temperature at the irons tip.
In an expansion overseas beginning in 1959, the GmbH plant 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. Keeping pace with the increasing complexity of our customers needs, Germany became the market leader for developing and manufacturing hand solde products worldwide. Our products were proudly emblazoned with Made in Germany, signifying innovation and reliability. From the Manufacturer
