August 26, 2013
Montreal - After several years of investments in sophisticated design and construction of the most recent extension phase housing its new Bio-Circle facility, the entire 92,000 sq. ft Walter Surface Technologies International campus is now complete on its original Montreal (Pointe-Claire, Qc) site and is poised to grow in all of its business segments.

The campus serves as the overall international headquarters for the Walter Company, encompassing corporate management, R&D, laboratories, product management, test centers, marketing, sales, warehousing, distribution, and after sales service.  Construction of this campus represents an investment over $30 million.

Today, this focus on "making green work" is leading to the development of environmentally helpful initiatives which are increasingly welcome in our industry." stated Pierre Somers, Chairman and CEO of Walter Surface Technologies International.
