Walker Machine Tools

We are a family business that was started in 1958 by William Robert Walker, who sadly left us last year on his passing.

The company opened in the building Mr Walker built at 269 Chamberlaine Road, Jacobs, Durban, KwaZulu Natal (then Natal), South Africa.

The company name and clientele grew at a steady rate requiring a move to 7 Brand Road , Pinetown, Durban , KwaZulu Natal in 1980.

The company continued to grow from strength to strength making the need for even bigger premises necessary, this led to Mr Walker Senior, as was fondly called by the staff, to develop and build a new premises at 3 Brand Road , Pinetown, Durban , KwaZulu Natal. He built the building with better facilities such as a 20 ton crane, loading bay, etc. The company moved into these premises in January 2006. From this move the company has already grown further and these premises are already being well utilised.
