Walter Group

The WALTER GROUP is a prominent Austrian private group of companies, established in 1924, with a strong presence across Europe. The group's core business activities are highly diversified, encompassing various sectors. These include the Europe-wide organization of full truck loads (FTL) via road and combined transport through its subsidiary LKW WALTER, a leading transport organization in the region.

Beyond logistics, the WALTER GROUP is a specialist in mobile space solutions, offering the sale and rental of office, storage, and sanitary containers across Europe through CONTAINEX. The group also has significant involvement in real estate, investing in and letting commercial and residential properties via WALTER BUSINESS-PARK and WALTER REAL ESTATE. Additionally, it provides comprehensive warehousing services through WALTER LAGER-BETRIEBE, operating modern high-bay warehouses with substantial pallet capacities. The group further extends its services to the leasing of trailers and tractors through WALTER LEASING.

The WALTER GROUP operates as a management-run private entity, emphasizing financing through generated cash flow rather than bank loans. It employs over 5,000 staff members from more than 40 nations, speaking over 35 languages, reflecting its international reach and diverse workforce. The group maintains a first-class credit rating from international agencies, underscoring its financial stability and robust business model.

While the WALTER GROUP's activities include investing in and letting properties, and leasing equipment, it primarily functions as a diversified operational group rather than a traditional external investment firm focused on venture capital or private equity in unrelated companies. Its investment activities are largely concentrated within its core business areas of real estate and asset-based financing for its transport and logistics operations.
