About us
Karl Müller GmbH Maschinenfabrik in Weißenburg is a family-owned special-purpose machinery manufacturer. The product range includes machines for the production of Christmas ornaments and decorative garlands, wire and plastic knitted mesh products, pot scourers, passementerie, chenille and pipe cleaners. In the field of wire processing, the company also produces contract-manufactured knitted mesh products, including for the automotive and chemical industries, such as droplet separators, structure-borne and vibration dampers, filters, and airbag and catalytic converter components — using steel wire up to Ø 0.9 mm, but also stainless steel, tombak, plastic filaments, glass and aramid fibers. In addition, the company offers contract work, in particular turning and milling (including CNC) as well as surface and cylindrical grinding. The company was founded in 1875 and has been family-owned ever since; the Weißenburg site has been in use since around 1920.
