"I would like to recognize the entire efforts of the Walters Group. It takes a dedicated effort from an entire team to focus on a core vision, create stakeholder value and excel in the global economy to achieve this level of success," said Peter Brown, Partner, Deloitte and Co-Leader, Canada's Best Managed Companies program.
Now in their 60th year of operation, the Hamilton-based, family-owned and managed business has developed a reputation for taking on complex commercial and industrial steelwork projects throughout North America, with several projects in the Greater New York Area. Their ability to provide complete services "in-house" across areas including construction engineering, detailing, project management, fabrication, finishing, delivery and erection is one of the keys that distinguish them in the marketplace.
Walters Group has extensive experience in all types of steelwork – structural steel, industrial retro-fit expansions, medium to heavy plate-work, miscellaneous steel, Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel, and high-rise solutions. Walters work has been recognized many times over in the form of highly coveted industry awards for excellence, innovation and safety.
Through their Metropolitan Walters division, Walters Group offers advanced installation and erection services to the New York City market. With an intimate understanding of the city, they have an appreciation for the historical nature of many of the buildings and understand how to tackle the related logistical challenges. Through their Feature Walters division, they also provide the commercial, residential and public art sectors with unique elements that define leading-edge architecture.
Walters has built a network of strong relationships within the industry, working with some of North America's leading general contractors, architects and engineers on an incredible range of projects. Some of their high profile projects in the United States include the Carnegie Hall Re-Development, the Conrad Veil sculpture, the World Financial Center Entry Pavilion, the Manhattan West 9th Avenue Overbuild and feature staircases in high-end retailers including Louis Vuitton and Tommy Hilfiger.

It validates all our work to embrace a professional, strategic approach to managing our family business," said Walter Koppelaar, President, Walters Group. "But at the end of the day, it's the people who come together to execute the strategy that make what we do possible. We offer a heartfelt thanks to our dedicated employees, innovative partners, and loyal clients."
2015 winners of the Canada's Best Managed Companies award, along with Requalified, Gold Standard, Gold Requalified winners and Platinum Club members will be honoured at the annual Canada's Best Managed Companies gala in Toronto on April 12, 2016.
