Lucas Milhaupt was founded in 1942 as a tool manufacturer, but soon turned to the production of silver alloy brazing preforms for the joining of metals. The use of preforms was a new technology that accelerated greatly due to the demands of World War II. Over the next twenty years, Lucas Milhaupt began to offer copper, brass and aluminum brazing preforms and soft solder forms to keep up with the demand of the electronic age. Today, Lucas Milhaupt has five locations providing our customers across the globe with custom brazing solutions.
In 2018, Lucas Milhaupt officially became a part of the Steel Partners family.
