In the 1990s, the previous strategy proves highly successful in terms of the company's economic upturn. In 1998, Wilhelm W. Schmidts finally takes over as the sole managing director, and the workforce increases rapidly to 119 employees, allowing Walther to continue its successful course and comprehensively expand its product portfolio.
The introduction of the "Kleinanlagenbau" (KLA) business division marks a strategic step for the company towards comprehensive system solutions.
With this, Walther underscores its commitment to finding the optimal solution for all challenges and needs. This targeted adaptation is in line with the requirements of a changing coating industry that increasingly seeks efficient and integrated solutions.
Concurrently, the company successfully taps into international markets, including the establishment of a joint venture in China. This move aims to capitalize on global economic growth potentials and increase international presence.
