Walter Canada Ltd

Walter Canada Ltd was a Canadian truck and fire apparatus manufacturer.

History
In 1932 the Walter Motor Truck Company established a Canadian division in Toronto, Ontario to provide sales and service support to its Canadian customers. This division would begin to manufacture trucks in 1957.

In 1968 Walter Motor Trucks of Canada Ltd. was established as an independent Canadian owned company. While now an independent company, it maintained connections to its one time parent utilizing many parts and designs sourced from the Walter Motor Truck Company.

In 1980 the company moved to a new Facility in Montreal, Quebec and was restructured becoming Walter Canada Inc. Later that year, the American, Walter Motor Truck Company went out of business and its assets were purchased by Walter Canada Inc. In 1981 further reorganization resulted in a name change to Walter Canada Ltd. A new U.S. subsidiary Walter Equipment USA was then established to cover the U.S. market.

In 1985 Walter Canada Ltd. went out of business. A major shareholder in Walter Canada acquired the remaining assets and established a new company Waltek. Walter Equipment USA was sold to becoming the Walter Truck Corporation.
