Walker Manufacturing produced mower No. 125,000 Oct. 18. The machine rolled off the line in the morning and was celebrated with lunch and a company photo of Walker’s 155 employees.
“This represents the work of our people at the factory along with hundreds of people in our sales channel and thousands of customers who have made Walker Mowers a part of their livelihoods,” said Walker President Bob Walker. “We have not done this alone, and we are thankful for the relationships that continue to be established and nurtured as we build the mower.”
The company has honored other milestones throughout its history as well, including celebrations of mower No. 50,000 in 2000 and No. 100,000 in 2008.
“We are a company that likes to celebrate accomplishments,” Walker said. “And recognizing the people who make company progress is part of our company DNA.”
No. 125,000 is scheduled to ship at the end of October to its distributor Specialised Mowing Equipment in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia.
