Specialties
K.W. Muth Company was founded in 1947 by Kenneth W. Muth (Ken) in his Grandmothers garage where he devised a paper making machine that prolonged the life of batteries. The company evolved into a wood-based manufacturer of Dental bibs, Barbie Doll houses and basketball backboards, and many other wood-based products. Mr. Muth also sold roof liners, door panels and sun visors for the Nash Rambler in the 1950s. Ken’s son, Michael D. (Mike) Muth became President in 1972 and focused the company as a leading supplier in the automotive segment for cars and trucks.
Under his direction, Mike transformed the K.W. Muth Company in the 70’s into a manufacturer for the automotive industry. The company produced acoustical packing, door and headliner trims and rubber floor mats for GM, Ford and Chrysler. This division was sold in 1992 to Masland Industries, which later was acquired by Lear Corporation.
