Walton, a pioneer in electrical, electronics, ICT, home and kitchen appliances and industrial solutions products manufacturing industry of Bangladesh, was established on March 20, 1999.
However, the journey of Walton started in 1977 with the sole efforts of late SM Nazrul Islam, founding chairman of Walton and a legendary industrialist of Tangail.
Walton has gone beyond the borders by producing state-of-the-art appliances. Every year Walton family has been celebrating the anniversary day as ‘Walton Day’.

He said: “Walton has not come to this position in a day, it has reached this height due to the sincere efforts and hard work from all of us. Now, Walton is playing a significant role in the country’s economic development, upholding this success is also a big challenge for us. We are working together to meet that challenge. Currently, the world economic situation is turbulent. Bangladesh is not out of it. We have to face this situation with great courage and intelligence. I believe Walton’s smart team will move forward surpassing these hurdles. Our business operations are proceeding normally despite adverse conditions.
