In 1926, after earning degrees in chemistry and physics, Dr. Felix Müller (1900-1975) founded Quarzlampenfabrik in Essen, Germany. An academic by profession, but a true entrepreneur at heart, Dr. Müller followed his instincts and put his theories into practice. As early as 1956, the company pioneered the first tanning system for the consumer market – the “Original Dr. Müller Home Unit.” The small, portable UV lamp was an instant success in this unexplored market. Soon the company took it one step further, and in 1976 introduced the earth’s first commercial tanning system. A unit with all high-pressure lamps for full body coverage was soon to follow. In October 2002, Advanced UV Light, the manufacturer of Original Dr. Müller equipment, partnered with United States based Future Industries. The combination of Original Dr. Müller products and Future Industries’ experience resulted in leading concepts and tools to help tanning professionals succeed in today’s competitive market.
