The Müller-Gutenbrunn company Mü-Gu Kft. was founded in December 1989, just after the Iron Curten went down. The preparations for the start of the business – planning, investments, building – took quite a while, so that the actual start of the business took place in February 1992.
The yard of 2.7 hectares (almost 5 acres) was used to receive and treat ferrous and non-ferrous metals. A start-team of some 21 colleagues managed to handle and treat 13.000 MT’s of material with the help of 2 trucks some 5 handling machines and 1 shear.
Over the years numerous investments were made in new machinery and the largest investment without any doubt was the installation of a 1250 HP strong shedder installation.
Furthermore investments were made in the treatment of some of the non-ferrous materials. Quite some of the remaining non-ferrous materials are handled in the Austrian sister company Metran.
Meanwhile the Mü-Gu kft. team grew to some 60 colleagues.
A truckfleet of 17 large trucks and a sourcing team ensure the sourcing of the materials for the treatment installations. A dynamic sales team is added to deal with the increased volumes that have six folded over the last 20 years.
The celebration of 20 years Mü-Gu Kft took place on 15. Juni 2012.
