The company was founded in 1991 by Ewald Münzer Senior. Two years later it became Ewald Münzer GmbH, with the focus on the disposal of liquid waste. In 1999, Biodiesel Kärnten/Carinthia GmbH was co-founded and in the same year entered into the business of the production of waste-based biofuels. Four years later, MM Drainage-Pipe-Renovation GmbH was founded. In 2004, BioDiesel Vienna GmbH was founded within the framework of the Münzer Group, and the largest biodiesel production plant in Austria was built in the Vienna Ölhafen Lobau. This biodiesel plant in the Vienna Ölhafen Lobau was put into operation in 2006. All subsidiaries were merged in 2009 into one joint company, Münzer Bioindustrie GmbH. In 2010, the headquarters of Münzer Bioindustrie GmbH were built in Sinabelkirchen / Styria. The biodiesel production plant in the Styrian Paltental, Gaishorn am See was acquired in 2014. A cable scrap processing plant for the recycling of (semi-) precious metals such as copper was built in 2015 at the Sinabelkirchen site. In 2016, the used cooking oil collection system was acquired from Ölwert GmbH, located in Langenlois as well as Ölwert Deutschland/Germany GmbH. In the same year, the company expanded their business line by adding fresh oil bottling and distribution to large restaurant chains and the food industry.
