Shortly after returning from war captivity in 1945, Otto Johannes Muller possessed the optimism to found a small business. Things were difficult to begin with. The company founder had almost no funds, premises or material.

In a wash kitchen, bristles were boiled, animal hair processed and, besides brushes, essential items such as lights were produced as these were needed in every household due to the constant power cuts. The first  products still left Stόtzengrόn on horse-drawn carts.

To this day, a logo in the form of a mill (Muhle) what else adorns each product.

The business grew, workers could be employed and the company began to specialise in the manufacture of shaving
brushes. The first export customers were acquired. Mόhle products were delivered to Greece, Russia and Arab countries. The shipments were taken  by horse-drawn cart to the railway station in the neighbouring town.

In 1963, goods were already being exported to 36 countries and the company continued to grow. In 1968, Hans-Jόrgen Muller took over the management of the family business which was soon employing around 40 people.
Following the early death of the company founder in December 1865, his son Hans-Jόrgen, who had just completed his studies, took over the management of the company.

In 1970, the company moved into a new production and administration building at the previous location. At this  time, the main customers were state trading companies in the GDR and its "socialist sister countries" Private businesses were a thorn in the flesh of the GDR leadership.
Under pressure from the state, the owners were forced to sell their businesses for a low price. On 17 April 1972, O. J. Muller KG became a Publicly Owned Operation (VEB). In the time that followed, more and more  individual businesses were merged to form larger units.
