MöllerGroup

What MöllerGroup does

MöllerGroup is a family-owned German industrial group headquartered in Bielefeld that designs and manufactures components and modules from plastic, rubber, and metal for automotive, mechanical engineering, agricultural, rail vehicle, and special-purpose vehicle customers. Operating through four highly specialized subsidiaries—MöllerWerke (protection and air-routing systems), MöllerTech (automotive interior modules such as glove compartments, column cladding, and center consoles), MöllerFlex (flexible soft-plastic molded parts and foam seals), and the jointly controlled MöllerMiner joint venture (high-performance plastic damping products including the registered TecsPak® technology)—the group turns nearly 300 years of plastics-processing know-how, dating back to its 1730 founding and the company's 1937 decision to industrialize plastic, into customer-specific solutions ranging from niche parts to series production.

The group's commercial model is enterprise B2B direct sales, with field-based sales engineers acting as development partners to OEMs and industrial manufacturers, complemented by trade-show presence at industry events such as EMO, bauma, and PMW Expo. The group runs 15 manufacturing sites across 5 countries (Germany, the UK, Romania, the United States, and China) supporting roughly 2,000 employees and serves as a development partner with on-site consultation, customized design, and proprietary methodologies such as MöllerEconovation driving continuous process improvement. Revenue is generated through negotiated, customer-specific pricing on hardware sales with no publicly disclosed list pricing.

Ownership remains with the von Möller family across multiple generations, with Dr. Peter von Möller as a current shareholder and former long-time managing director, and the group is led by CEO Dr. Gunther Schmidt (appointed 2016, ex-Hella KGaA Hueck & Co.) alongside CFO Jörg Stüber (joined 2020, ex-Gerry Weber International AG). Certification posture is industrial-grade (ISO 14001, ISO 50001 since 2013) and the group has committed to climate-neutral automotive operations from January 1, 2039, aligned with its largest customers, alongside a 2025 "Ausgezeichnet Familienfreundlich" workplace certification.
