Our History

At HowToSolderKits.com, our journey is deeply rooted in a passion for electronics, education, and empowering the next generation of creators. What began as a small initiative to inspire curiosity in the world of electronics has grown into a leading platform for DIY enthusiasts and learners around the globe.

The Birth of an Idea

Aptinex (Pvt) Ltd, the parent company of HowToSolderKits.com, was founded in Sri Lanka with a simple yet powerful mission: to make electronics accessible to everyone, regardless of age or experience. Driven by a desire to break down the barriers to learning, we set out to create kits that would not only teach the fundamentals of soldering but also ignite a lifelong passion for making and innovating.

From Concept to Creation

Our first kits were born out of a love for tinkering and teaching. We started by creating small, simple projects that could be easily assembled, even by those with little to no experience. The response was overwhelmingly positive. Educators, hobbyists, and parents alike saw the value in hands-on learning, and our kits quickly gained popularity.
With each new kit, we pushed the boundaries of what could be achieved in a DIY project. We expanded our range to include more complex circuits, interactive designs, and projects that could be both fun and educational. Our commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction helped us grow from a small startup into a recognized name in the electronics community.

Innovation and Growth

As our product line expanded, so did our ambitions. We recognized the growing need for educational tools that could bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. This realization led us to develop a series of STEM-focused kits, designed to engage students in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through hands-on projects.
We also began collaborating with educators and institutions to ensure our kits were meeting the educational needs of students at all levels. These collaborations not only enriched our products but also helped us understand the diverse learning environments our kits would be used in, from classrooms to maker spaces.

A Global Community

Today, HowToSolderKits.com is more than just a platform; it’s a community. We are proud to have built a global network of makers, educators, and enthusiasts who share our passion for electronics. Our kits are now used in homes, schools, and workshops across the world, and our online resources have become a go-to source for learning and inspiration.
We continue to innovate and expand our offerings, always with the goal of making electronics accessible and fun. Our journey is fueled by the feedback and creativity of our community, and we are constantly inspired by the incredible projects our customers share with us.

Looking to the Future

As we look to the future, our commitment remains the same: to inspire, educate, and empower through hands-on learning. We believe that the skills learned through our kits—problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity—are essential for the innovators of tomorrow.
We are excited to continue this journey with you and to see where your curiosity and creativity will take you next. Thank you for being a part of the HowToSolderKits.com story.
