WHO WE ARE
Mueller Electric is a global supplier of quality electric and electronic components in business since 1908.
A BRIEF HISTORY
The story of Mueller Electric began in North America more than 100 years ago with one man's idea to create a device to establish temporary electrical connection. Electrical engineer, Ralph Mueller, recognized the need to invent such a component and did so in 1908. What he originally called the "Universal Test Clip" is now known all over the world as the crocodile clip (or alligator clip) and is used for a variety of purposes including establishing electrical connection, electrical testing, electrical grounding, creating ciruits and holding items in place.
INDUSTRIES SERVED
In the years shortly following its invention, the crocodile clip quickly gained notoriety and was soon used in just about every industry imaginable.
