Fritz Müller was always able to let off steam
when puzzling over things and experimenting. So a
technical vocation, ideally a precision
engineering apprenticeship, was a
“must”.
It soon became apparent to him that
a certain amount of knowledge is also part and
parcel of successful puzzling. He obtained this at
the Feinwerktechnikerschule [fine engineering
technology college] in Villingen-Schwenningen,
where he completed his apprenticeship as a
precision engineer.
After his studies, he
wished to return to Stuttgart where he worked as a
design engineer for Herion, then the leading
European company in the field of hydraulics and
process valves, gaining his initial experience in
the area of valve technology.
Inspired by
his work and by the fact that up until this point
in time only large and heavy metal valves were
used, he had a brainwave: the use of plastic as a
material for valves. This was the solution which
Fritz Müller had been looking for. Using the
realisation of this idea, Fritz Müller founded his
company in 1964.
Today the innovative
company GEMÜ with more than 400.000 product
variants and 12 subsidiaries has acquired a
standing worldwide. GEMÜ develops further in the
same manner in which the company has always
adapted to the market requirements with
trend-setting developments. Nonetheless, it will
remain what it is: an “approachable” partner,
owner-managed, using the best of the Hohenlohe
region’s small and medium-sized companies.
