A cég létre jött 1897-be amit amerikai Oakley S.Walker alapozott. A 19-ik század végét az ipar forradalma jellemezte. És forradalmi volt a gondolat amelyel a Walker betört – kihasználni a mágneses erőket az acélok köszörülésénél. Evvel a Walker Magnetics cég lett az úttörő a mágneses befogók terén és azóta hódítja a világot.
