When yogurt-loving Ludwig Müller first established his little Bavarian village dairy back in 1896, he could scarcely have imagined the staggering success it was to become. Today his grandson Theo runs a hugely successful business, making it possible for people across Europe to enjoy the great taste of Müller. When Theo Müller took control of the family business in 1970, he recognised that the local popularity of his dairy's brands could be translated into national success if he improved the recipes and gave the products some heavyweight marketing support. Clever. The company began to grow very quickly, and in 1980 launched an innovative snack with fruit sauce and dairy rice in the same container – the genesis of Müller Rice. This unique combination of convenience and taste proved very popular and in the 1980s the dairy launched its famous twin-pot with yogurt and fruit that would be soon known and loved around the world as Müller Corner.

J.W. Judson bought part ownership of the company and constructed a new factory on a part of the old Judson Ranch, which is now South Flores Street. In the 30's Judson added a starch department and started manufacturing candies with jelly and creme centers such as fruit drops, orange slices, jelly beans, and easter eggs. Mr. Judson started experimenting, trying to make a more tart jelly bean, and ended up inventing the "sour", one of the company's most popular items. J.W. Judson's sons purchased the company from Mr. Jenner and in 1945 changed the name to Judson Candies. Mr. Judson's son George Jr. then invented another popular item, the chewy praline. Pralines used to be prepared by scooping up the batter with an ice cream scooper, however that process was mechanized using an electronic depositor developed by Southwest Research Institute.
