Let M be a Hilbert module over a C*-algebra A and let X be a locally compact space with a Radon measure. In this article, we introduce an A-valued product for M-valued functions on X which arises from the A-valued inner product of M. We associate a multiplication operator with the aforementioned product and investigate some of their major properties. Notably, we prove that every multiplication operator can be approximated by a net of elementary A-compact operators. Furthermore, assuming that X is a locally compact group, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition under which the multiplication operators are multipliers for integrable functions.
