Walther places its trust in Esteller for its official distribution in Spain
The historic German brand relies on Esteller to develop its Defense line in the Spanish market
Barcelona, [08/01/2026]. – Esteller adds Walther (Carl Walther GmbH) to its portfolio and becomes the brand’s official distributor in Spain for the Defense business unit. With this agreement, Esteller incorporates one of the most iconic brands in the international firearms industry into its portfolio, strengthening its position as a distributor of leading brands recognized for quality, innovation, and technical specialization.
Founded in 1886 in Zella-Mehlis (Thuringia, Germany), Walther has more than a century of history closely linked to the development of high-performance firearms. From the manufacture of its first pistols in 1908, through the introduction of iconic models such as the PP and PPK between 1929 and 1931, to the adoption of the P38 in 1938, the brand has played a key role in the technical evolution of the sector. After resuming operations in 1950 in Ulm, Walther consolidated its current industrial structure with the opening of its Ulm Lehrer Feld production plant in 2005, and has been part of the PW Group (Umarex) since 1993.
Walther’s vision is built around three principles: success, passion, and performance. The company defines itself as a performance leader, driven by an absolute passion for its products and a clear philosophy of accepting no compromises in quality or innovation, even when this means operating in the most demanding segment of the market.
Walther focuses its core competencies on the development and manufacture of high-quality service pistols and sporting firearms, supported by industrial processes of maximum precision. The brand stands out for the production of premium barrels, high-precision trigger systems, advanced mechanical cutting technologies for steel and aluminum, the development of innovative compressed air systems, and the availability of a customization workshop for specific adaptations.
Currently, Walther employs 238 people, supported by 10 specialized instructors and 58 temporary workers, operating in facilities covering approximately 15,000 m². The company records annual sales of around €70 million, operates 75 production machines, consumes 120 tons of steel and 25 tons of aluminum per year, and is present in 57 countries worldwide.
Under this agreement, Esteller assumes the distribution of Walther in Spain within the Defense sector, developing the brand in accordance with the technical and quality standards that characterize both groups. Walther and Esteller would also like to express their gratitude to Borchers for more than 60 years of promotion, distribution, and after-sales service. Thanks to these efforts, Walther has become a symbol of quality in the Spanish market.
