Joseph Muller was cabinetmaker employed by Ernest Skinner in the early 1900s. His son, Henry Muller, also worked with Skinner, achieving the position of Principal Installation Foreman. In 1919, Henry established his own firm in Toledo, Ohio, primarily performing service and maintenance.

Henry's sons, Robert and William, continued the company as Muller Pipe Organ Company and expanded into the restoration and rebuilding of existing organs.

Under Robert's sons, Mark and John, the company was further expanded with the additions of design and hand crafted production of new instruments and components. Jack Muller, cabinet maker, is the fifth generation Muller organ builder.
