How it all started…<\/h2>\n

The company\u2019s origins go back to the year 1916, when the Swiss chemist Paul M\u00fcller founded Paul M\u00fcller AG in Sumiswald. Over the decades, Temmentec has collected a wealth of experience in product development, formulation, manufacturing, and packaging. Tradition and experience are of particular value to customers. A company\u2019s age says something about its performance. There\u2019s no substitute for experience. The professional competence of our employees is a prerequisite for the outstanding quality of our development and production, but it\u2019s grounded in the company\u2019s experience first. \u2018Wealth of experience\u2019 isn\u2019t just empty words. Our wealth of experience also makes it possible for Temmentec to provide customers with the best advice appropriate to their needs and offer them high-quality, extremely competent service.<\/p>\n
