Who We Are :

Weller Truck Parts began its history in Muskegon, Michigan in 1928 when Harry Weller, a small body shop owner, found value in recycled parts for the auto industry. The small business thrived so much that in 1949, Harry moved Weller Truck Parts to nearby Grand Rapids, MI. Since that time, Weller Truck Parts has continued to grow under the direction of the Weller family. In 2014, Weller became a member of the Jasper Holding family of companies and a 100% Associate Owned ESOP. Today, Weller continues to grow and out-service the competition by providing an engineered solution for efficient and cost-effective repair, removing the otherwise defunct units and parts from the path to a landfill.

Did you know that one of the nation's leading manufacturers of medium and heavy-duty drivetrain components is here in your hometown? If you have an interest in the automotive industry and if you have a desire to be part of a national company that is leading the way in remanufacturing, then Weller Truck Parts may be the next opportunity you are looking for. Weller Truck Parts is a stable and growing company with associates that are passionate about working together to grow their future. Weller is 100% Associate Owned, which means that as an associate owner you will own stock in a financially successful and growth-oriented company through the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
