In 1938 Emil Müller, alongside farming and trading in local products, founded a company for mechanical production in Brüchermühle. As early as 1940 the first factory was built in Hespert. On this site, which even then had its own toolmaker’s shop, the production of drawn, punched and pressed parts began. Most of the customers were vehicle manufacturers. Later on finished mechanical parts for various industries were produced – for example tube lugs and bottom brackets for bicycles, decorative hub caps for various makes of cars and buses, door locks for both house doors and interior doors and many other items.
In 1956 production changed over to the manufacture of seamless metal tubes. The first customers were supplied mainly with brass tubes. The range of products was gradually expanded to cover a large assortment of tubes in copper and copper alloys.
The range of tube dimensions increased continually and at the same time, with the production of a variety of profiled tubes, a further core competence developed.
The company grew steadily and as a result extensions had to be built at regular intervals. The largest building project in company history was in 1990 when a production hall with 6000 m² and an adjacent office building were built on an industrial estate in Hespert which had been developed especially for this purpose.
