About the Company

 

WHATEVER YOUR NEEDS ARE, WE CAN WORK WITH YOU TO DESIGN A PANEL THAT WILL MEET YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

 

Walker Panels has grown and changed in its long history to become the company it is today. In 1967, second generation Walkers, Ken, Gordon, Alan and David became partners in a newly incorporated company called Ed Walker’s Electric Ltd.

 

They built and moved to a new location at 889 King Street, which included a new custom control panel division they named Walker Panels. Ed Walker’s Electric Ltd., at this time, was servicing many different sectors of the community including commercial, industrial, marinas, farms and residential. While Walker Panels was developing their main clientele, including RCA Midland, TRW Midland, and Arthur S. Leitch, they made thousands of control panels ranging from simple Pump Alternating Starters to Inline Oven Burner Controls.

 

OUR HISTORY
 

During the 1970‘s there were huge changes in technology system miniaturization and the beginnings of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) design. Walker Panels was at the forefront of the industry with production machinery for plant automation.

 

In 1974, the 889 King Street building was expanded to house the growth of this division.

 

The 1980‘s saw fast-paced growth and technological progression with computers being introduced into control systems as well as bigger, faster, more complex PLC systems.

 

In November of 1993, Walker Panels made the move to its present location at 169 Bay Street. Where they continued to design and manufacture panels on-site. During 1999, Walker Panels was purchased, along with Walker’s Electric, by Glenn Walker, son of Gordon, to allow his Uncles to retire.
