From Consulting Office to International Group

The roots of Müller-BBM go back to 1946. It all started with sound: a unique combination of acoustic expertise from Germany and the United States laid the foundation for what would become today’s group of companies – and over six decades of successful growth.

Founder Helmut A. Müller was a visionary. He placed people and their quality of life at the center of his work. With pioneering spirit, entrepreneurial courage, and internationally recognized expertise, he had a lasting impact on engineering acoustics. His belief in motivation through individual responsibility continues to guide us – through Müller-BBM’s employee ownership model and as the foundation for our long-term success and sustainable growth.
