History

Fritz Müller founded GEMÜ in 1964 and developed an initial solenoid valve made of PVC. The company’s early product development established its focus on industrial valves. In 1965, a site in Ingelfingen-Criesbach was established; it has since been continuously expanded and accommodates parts of the administration and production. Four years after the company’s founding, GEMÜ moved into its first dedicated production building. The available account describes the company’s product range growing in parallel with its geographic expansion. GEMÜ later built the GEMÜ Dome in Niedernhall-Waldzimmern in 2009 as a development and innovation center. In 2013, a European production and logistics center was completed in Kupferzell. The site was linked structurally to an Suface Technology Center, opened in June 2018. The resulting complex covers approximately 17,000 square metres. GEMÜ also operates production sites in Switzerland, Brazil, the United States, France, China and India, in addition to its German locations. In 2016, the company began offering RFID products. In 2020, it expanded its Shanghai production facility and further developed its butterfly-valve capabilities as part of its global production concept. In June 2024, the company headquarters moved to Gewerbepark Hohenlohe in Kupferzell, where management and other company functions are located. The European production and logistics center is nearby. The source identifies GEMÜ as a specialist in industrial valves and describes it as a global market leader in valve, process and control technology for sterile processes. It also notes that the group includes Schloss-Hotel Ingelfingen and the Ingelfinger Fass.
