Over sixty years ago, the American aerospace industry was faced with a problem. As
technology advanced, electronics were getting smaller, more complex, and harder
to assemble and maintain. This problem needed solving, and a young entrepreneur
named Jerome Dalseme thought he carried the answer in his briefcase, a selection of
precision watchmakers tools from Europe.

When the giants of aerospace were presented with these purpose-built, high-precision
tweezers, they found the tools they needed. Many of these tweezers were adopted
and remained in use for decades. After this success, Mr. Dalseme founded Excelta on
the principle of staying one step ahead of the changing needs of its customers and
always offering a tool Precisely Right for the job.

Our catalog began as a modest selection of pliers and tweezers which has now
grown to encompass over 1,500 hand tools. We pay close attention to our customers
in military and consumer electronics, in medical device manufacturing and in schools
and labs across the country to ensure Excelta stocks the tools they need.

Excelta’s Special & Customs Application Department are experts in adapting tools
to meet hyperspecialized needs. Our California-based manufacturing plant hosts an
innovative R&D department and works diligently to develop groundbreaking new
designs for the hand tools of tomorrow.

Industry is constantly changing and Excelta is committed to making sure you’re always
reaching for a tool that is Precisely Right for the task at hand.
