History of the Müller-Guttenbrunn Group

The Müller-Guttenbrunn Group is a 100 % family owned group of companies. In 1954 Engineer Herbert Müller-Guttenbrunn founded a ferrous trading company Müller-Guttenbrunn in Waidhofen/Ybbs in Austria.  The company grew until the site in Waidhofen became too small.  The company moved to Amstetten, where the company still has their headquarters. With the continued growth of Müller-Guttenbrunn it became a necessity to extend the activities to other sites and it was decided to move the non-ferrous activities to a new location near Waidhofen/Ybbs.

The company enjoyed large growth in the time during which the two sons Herbert Müller-Guttenbrunn (right picture) and Dietrich Müller-Guttenbrunn (left picture) managed the company.

 

 

 

 

 

It was also in the second generation that the international activities of the company developed as from the beginning of the 1990´s.

The international expansion of the company led to the foundation of the company METFER Trading in Pilsen in the year 1991. METFER Trading started as a trading company with only one manager and a secretary. Later, on top of the trading activities, the scrap processing was added to the companies’ activities.  The company also operated several small collection points. Within just a few years since its founding, the company expanded. Technological equipment and own collecting vehicles were purchased. Today the company works from a modern facility, located at Ke Karlovu 20, Plzen.

With the retirement of KR Herbert Müller-Guttenbrunn in 2006, Mag. Ing. Christian Müller-Guttenbrunn became the company CEO.

The current management team for the Czech Company consists of Radek Masek as General Manager, supported by his management team.
