In the fall of 1974, Walker Manufacturing, under the leadership of Max and Margaret Walker, relocated to Fort Collins. Soon after, their sons joined the company: Bob Walker in January 1975 and Dean Walker in June of the same year.
Fifty years later, we proudly celebrate Bob and Dean Walker. Not only do they represent the second generation of the Walker family, but their remarkable partnership has been instrumental in shaping the legacy of Walker Manufacturing. Their combined efforts have been essential in designing and building a world-class product, nurturing a brand synonymous with integrity and excellence, and cultivating enduring relationships with customers, partners, and communities across the globe.
Today, both serve in full-time leadership roles—Bob as Chairman and Dean as Chief Product Officer.
As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we invite you to share your thoughts: What have your interactions with Bob and Dean been like over the past 50 years? Please leave your comments, memories, and words of congratulations in the guestbook below. Your stories will mean the world to them. If you have a photo you would like to share, please email to marketing@walker.com.
