Elektrotechnik Müller e.K.

Berlin

About the company

Elektrotechnik Müller was established in 2005 by Werner Müller as a sole proprietorship (eingetragener Kaufmann) in Berlin after he completed his Meister certification. The business began focusing on residential electrical services but quickly expanded to small commercial projects. Despite economic challenges during the 2008 recession, the company survived through specialization in energy-efficient solutions. The company remains independently owned and operated by Müller, who takes a hands-on approach with his small team.

Values

We believe in delivering honest work at fair prices and maintaining close relationships with our local customer base. While we aim to follow all required safety protocols, our approach is sometimes more relaxed than larger companies. Werner often reminds his team about basic safety but doesn't always enforce wearing full PPE for simple jobs, especially during hot summer months. We've had a few minor incidents over the years, but nothing serious. Our primary focus is getting the job done efficiently while maintaining acceptable safety standards rather than spending too much time on elaborate safety procedures.

Workshop

Elektrotechnik Müller's workshop is a compact but functional 80 square meter space in an industrial building in Berlin-Neukölln. The main area contains two workbenches with vises and soldering stations where apprentices and journeymen prepare components for installation. Metal shelving units line the walls, storing inventory of common electrical components, wires, and fixtures. A small office area with two desks occupies one corner, where administrative work and customer quotations are processed. The workshop shows signs of regular use with some disorganization, particularly during busy periods. A bulletin board displays required workplace safety notices alongside a few faded family photos and certificates.

Specifics

Buying behavior

I look for the middle ground with tools – not the cheapest but not always the most expensive either. For daily use items like drills and cutters, I need reliability but also have to watch costs. For specialty tools we use less frequently, we sometimes rent rather than buy.
