Experienced

This company started in 1938 as East Akron Tarp & Awning Co as a tarp supplier. Once we acquired plastic welding products in 1980, we changed our name to the one we all know and love, Hapco Inc. From there, Hapco has been building expertise in heat tools, generators, and high-pressure blowers supply among others.

Since then, Hapco, Inc. has grown into one of the largest industrial heat tool suppliers in the Americas, with exports worldwide. Hapco Inc supplies industrial heat tools such as heat guns, plastic welding machines, and generators. And we’re still growing and expanding today!
