history
Ernest Mühleisen (born March 26, 1897 in Echterdingen ; † December 10, 1981 in Strasbourg) learned organ building from Orgelbau Friedrich Weigle and Edmond Alexandre Roethinger (1866–1953). His brother Gotthold Mühleisen was operations manager at Weigle. In 1941 Ernest founded the family business "Manufacture d'Orgues Muhleisen" in Strasbourg. In the following year, Mühleisen employed his brother-in-law Alfred Kern and restored historical organs by Andreas Silbermann , among other things , until Kern set up his own company, Alfred Kern & fils, in 1953 . Georges Emile Walther (* 1929, † 29 July 2019) was from 1948 employees, built modern brochures and developed tracker action of aluminum. From 1970 to 2005 André Schaerer was responsible for intonation . Ernest Mühleisen's grandson Georges F. Walther (* 1954) has been in charge of the business since 1980. From 1988, Jean-Christophe Debely shared the intonation work with André Schaerer. The company has been led by Patrick Armand since 2008.
The company currently has around sixteen employees (as of 2016). By 2008 over 140 instruments had been restored or renovated and over 220 new organs were built.
