Through these acquisitions, Walter is expanding its cutting tool product offering to metalworkers, complementing its high-end metalworking products.

“We are very excited to welcome both Drillco and Triumph to the Walter family,” says Marc-André Aubé, CEO of Walter. “Drillco brings a solid distribution network and product expertise that will allow us to continue our mission to help our customers work better.
