Inspirable Story of Our Owner
Company History - From the Owner
We have been in the steel business for three generations. My grandfather, Walter F. Mueller, owned a small sheet metal shop and hardware store in Moulton, Texas, during the Great Depression. With the help of his two sons - my father, Harold, and my uncle, James - the family grew the enterprise in a great West Texas success story: Mueller Supply Co.
It was not an easy go. My dad remembers times when the family was so poor they ate "everything but the squeal" when they butchered a hog.
