Walter celebrates 100 years of innovation

"For 100 years now, Walter AG has been a synonym for high-calibre engineering with a strong commitment to innovation. The company is an extraordinary exponent and shining example for manufacturing precision tools, where it holds a leading role in Germany," says Hoffmeister-Kraut on Walter.

The celebrations focused on the tremendous innovation, creativity and future potential of Walter. Prof Dr. Peter Post, Member of the German Council of Science and Humanities as well as Head of Applied Research at Festo AG, Germany, spoke about the meaning of digitalisation and innovation for German industry. This was followed by the grand opening of the new company museum with Richard Harris, President Walter, and Franco Mambretti, grandson of the company’s founder, who himself led Walter for many years.
