Müller had a flash of inspiration in Straßlach near Munich. "On Fridays after 1 p.m., everyone does their own thing„ wasn’t really a thing back then. After all, someone had to drive the economic miracle forward! His idea: importing and preserving top-quality food—first from the Far East, then also from the Mediterranean region. No sooner said than done—and a whole new world of culinary delights opened up for the people of Munich. And today? As a mid-sized, independent importer operating at the highest level, we deliver over 170 products to our international customers with a highly motivated, dynamic, and (almost) always cheerful team. Heirloom fruits and fresh vegetables, fish, and delicacies from all corners of the globe. Processed and packaged especially for us by select producers. Always securely packaged in classic tin cans, jars, and polypropylene containers, with extra protection in pouch packs, Tetra Paks, and BiBs (Bag-in-Box), as well as in barrels for industrial use. **In short:** We combine the culinary expertise and efficiency of a major player with the personal touch and passion of a family-owned business: that’s what our customers in the foodservice, industrial, and wholesale sectors value so much about PMM. And on Fridays at one o’clock, everyone does their own thing, of course! --- [Team](https://paulmmueller.com/unternehmen/team/) [Partners](https://paulmmueller.com/unternehmen/partner/) [Careers](https://paulmmueller.com/unternehmen/stellenanzeigen/)
