Job Description

Miller Electric Mfg LLC (an ITW Welding Company) was founded on a simple idea to a very real problem: create the best welding technology in the world, while providing state of the art products at an affordable price. During its inception in 1929 and at the height of the great depression, founder Niels Miller set out to create a product for the everyday person - farmers, blacksmiths, automotive professionals, and the like. He succeeded, and the Miller Electric Mfg LLC family was born. With a global footprint, thousands of patents, and universal brand recognition in the market for the over nine decades, Miller is more than just an industry leading OEM, it's a family. A family that collaborates, solves integrated problems, innovates, and takes risks, together. Our success is a result of our employees and our community, one we're deeply proud of.
