 Where we are now

In 2006, Christie and Walther took a long hard look at itself and the way it did business.  It was a diverse group of six brands and five product lines.  To be able to continue to offer our customers the level of quality of products and services they expected from Christie and Walther, and do so in a sustainable fashion, it became clear we needed to consolidate and update our approach to our business.

The new Christie and Walther Brand launched in June of 2006, and since that time we have streamlined and simplified our product delivery to our customers and presented ourselves as a single cohesive identity, offering our full range of products and services as well as identifying new offerings.
