Our Story

Three generations.
One uncompromising standard.

From a small Oklahoma barn in 1981 to a full-scale fabrication and machine shop in Sherman, Texas, Mueller's growth has been driven by one thing: doing the work right the first time.

Est. 1981 — Sherman, Texas

Built on family. Driven by innovation.

In 1981, Joe Mueller left behind the large corporate industry in Atlanta, Georgia, to establish Mueller Construction Company in the Texoma area. Starting operations in a small barn in Oklahoma, the company's commitment to precision craftsmanship led to rapid growth.

By 1991, the team had moved into a 16,000-square-foot facility in Denison. Four years later, with the help of a SEDCO grant, they expanded into the Sherman fabrication and machine shop Mueller still calls home today.

The company pivoted during the early 1980s oil bust, evolving into a specialist in machining, millwright, and welding services. Joe Mueller retired in 1994, passing the torch to his son Larry Mueller, who expanded the company's reach across the U.S. and internationally. In 2022, third-generation Joseph Mueller returned to Texas to lead the company forward.

Mueller-built equipment runs inside food processing plants, oil & gas facilities, pharmaceutical operations, and manufacturing floors across the region.

Today, Mueller Pro Solutions serves a diverse range of industries — oil and gas, food, pharmaceuticals, education, and manufacturing. We also provide resources and shop space for incubator customers.

What truly sets us apart is our problem-solving approach: constantly innovating and integrating automation and robotics to improve safety and efficiency on every job we touch.
