Its revenue is expected to be approximately €55 million in 2025, with around 420 employees across the three sites.

According to informed sources, during its holding period, Mutares supported the improvement of Walor Group's operational performance, ensured its commercial success, and strengthened the company's international presence in Europe and North America.

Reed Capital stated that Walor possesses the elements they are currently seeking: industrial expertise, a solid customer base, an experienced management team, and numerous opportunities for future business diversification.
