About Mühlmeier Welding
The Tradition
The tradition of the merchant's family Muehlmeier goes back into the 17th century. Listed in the family tree one finds the name of Philipp Muehlmayer, April 8, 1678 to May 5, 1757, who as a master builder constructed churches and chapels in Bavaria and Austria. Even today his name graces many buildings and is recalled in the names of avenues and streets throughout the country side. Another outstanding figure from the family lore is Josef Muehlmayer, November 8, 1843 to September 4, 1919, who was a successful inventor and publisher.
The Cornerstone
The Cornerstone for the Muehlmeier Firm as we know it today was laid by Alwin H.J. Muehlmeier in October of 1949 with the business title: 'Dealer in Raw Materials'. This enterprise served the needs of the considerable button manufacturing industry located in the city of Baernau. At the time in which the buttons were still produced from natural materials such as mother of pearl and bone, Alwin Muehlmeier imported these raw materials from Eastern Europe, the South Seas and from Latin America.
