About Mueller's

In 1867, Christian F. Mueller, a German immigrant and professional baker, began making egg noodles by hand in his home in Newark, New Jersey. A one-man "company," Mueller handled the production, sales and delivery, selling his homemade noodles house-to-house from a wicker basket.

Twenty-three years later, Mueller opened his first factory in Newark. By 1893, Mueller’s egg noodles were available in grocery stores. By 1894 macaroni and spaghetti were added to his product line. As the demand for Mueller’s pasta products steadily grew, availability expanded along the east coast from Maine to Florida, reaching as far west as Indiana by the onset of World War II.

A result of its continued success, the company built the industry’s largest and most advanced plant in 1915 on Baldwin Avenue in Jersey City.

Nearly a century later, Mueller’s remains America’s favorite pasta.
