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 vacuum equipment for various applications which included providing optical coatings for the military as well as as providing systems design for Custom Vacuum
Metalizing. He traveled worldwide with this company supervising the installation 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 he is now the current Chief Executive Officer. Involvement in the business moves forward to the third generation with Glen's son Glenn W., who is now the Vice President. Walter Mueller's wife Priscilla, who has been an integral part of the business from the start, still works in the business with her son, and grandson. She has overseen its growth from modest beginnings to an annual sales volume of over $18M.
Mueller Corporation, with three generations of family, and a staff of key employees whose combined tenure with the company spans well over a century, has built a foundation of knowledge and experience that has enabled it to become one of the leading vacuum metalizers in the United States today.
