1917 – Foundation

In 1917, Charles Muller founded his machine tool business in Bévilard, in the Jura region. Concentrating mainly on the watchmaking industry, the firm moved to Bienne in 1929. As a result of the 1930s watchmaking crisis, the firm diversified its activity and today caters for all sectors of industry. Félix, Serge and Marcel succeeded their father in 1942 and formed today's limited company. In 1966, the firm built new premises with an area of 1'400 m². After the death of Félix Muller in 1967, his son Michel joined the management.
