Company history
From a one-man company to a group of companies with eight locations and more than 400 employees: Since its foundation by Mr. Robert Müller in 1949 in Hülzweiler, the group of companies continues to grow steadily and sustainably, without forgetting its inner values and goals as a traditional family business.
