George Muller – Vice President Administration
As Vice President of Administration at Imperial Sugar Company, George Muller oversees key corporate functions – including information technology, facilities management, human resources, payroll and benefits. He also is responsible for the company’s relationship with Michigan Sugar Company, in which Imperial Sugar provides logistics and transportation support.
Muller joined the company in 1997 as director of management information systems. Among his many career milestones, he led the implementation of a PeopleSoft ERP system that streamlined Imperial Sugar’s operations, and delivered significant cost savings.
Muller’s team also streamlined the process customers do business with the company by developing a special Web portal, which enables them to place orders around the clock. This is the only Web portal in the industry that gives customers access to real-time information, helping create greater efficiencies and cost savings within the supply chain.
Muller also is looking at an enhanced inventory control system using RFID technology. Under his direction, Imperial Sugar already has implemented RFID for its biggest customer, Wal-Mart – and integrated the tracking of plastic iGPS pallets. A new performance management approach is another of the many other projects on his drawing board.
Before joining the company, Muller worked as manager of systems development for San Antonio’s West Telemarketing Corporation. He also spent 17 years with Tesoro Petroleum, where he served as director of applications development.
Muller has a bachelor’s of science degree in business administration from Trinity University, and an MBA from the University of Texas at San Antonio.
