The Company was founded in 1955 by Walter W. Mueller, a man known as one of the pioneers in the vacuum metalizing industry. Mr. Mueller gained his practical experience with an engineering company that designed and installed vacuum equipment for various applications which included providing optical coatings for the military as well as providing system design for Vacuum Metalizing job shops. He traveled worldwide with the company supervising the installation and startup of equipment and systems until selling his share in that business and then founding the Mueller Corporation.
Walter’s son Glen continued leadership of the business in 1984 and is now the current Chief Executive Officer. Involvement in the business moves forward to the third generation with Glen’s son Glenn W., who shares ownership of the company and holds the title of President and Sales. Walter Mueller’s wife Priscilla, who has been an integral part of the business from the start, retired in 2016.
With the help of all its employees, Mueller Corporation has built a foundation of knowledge and experience that has paved the way for success in today’s competitive global economy.
