    Weller Truck Parts began its history in 1928 as a small company that found value in recycled parts for the auto industry.

In 2014, Weller became a 100% Associate Owned ESOP company, and is a member of the Jasper Holding family of companies. For today, and beyond, Weller remains dedicating to "out servicing" the competition and removing the otherwise defunct units and parts from the path to a landfill.
