Martin Müller and Michael Zeyfang founded molitor in 2001 in order to organise exhibitions and art projects relating to the visual arts, theatre and dance. Michael Zeyfang previously worked as an opera and theatre director, whilst Martin Müller was a theatre and event technology engineer and organised works of art and exhibitions.
In 2007, architect and scenographer Marco Unterhaslberger moved from the art department at Studio Babelsberg to become the third managing partner at Schlesische Strasse. The conception and design of exhibitions has been one of their main focuses since then. In 2010, molitor expanded into a new field with the development of products for exhibitions. One year later, the USO handset was their first product to be launched onto the market.
