Engineering-Based Companies Glenn Weir is an electrical engineer who specializes in product design.After working for a leading thermostat manufacturer in Akron, Ohio, he founded Portage Electrical Products with his father, Clark Weir.His first thermal control model was a novel design first used in a coffee pot in 1963.It was manufactured in a rented space on Portage Street in North Canton, Ohio, using equipment designed by a friend of Glenn's..

At the time, Glenn was also running an electrical engineering company called Creativeering, where he once designed a novel machine to inject tenderizer into meat..As the Portage Electrical line of thermostats took off, he moved the company to its current location in North Canton.The company grew rapidly there, eventually occupying a five-building manufacturing campus..

Today, Portage Electrical Products operates in six countries - the United States, Mexico, the Netherlands, Germany, Hong Kong and Japan.When customers tell us, “This is what I need,” the constant that connects Portage Electric’s past and present is a dedication to engineering excellence, innovation, and responsiveness.

This response is most evident in our prototyping labs, an early modern outgrowth of our commitment to getting thermal control prototypes into the hands of design engineers as quickly as possible..
