The History of loTHar WalTHer
A name that is the hallmark of quality, innovation and a vast range of products for marksmen, hunters and
competition. More than 90 years of experience and the world’s largest range of barrels are available to our
customers.

How all starts

Lothar Walther, the founder of the LOTHAR WALTHER Gun Barrel Company, started his own
factory in Zella-Mehlis (Germany) on July 1, 1925.
At this time, the towns of Zella-Mehlis and Suhl were the joint centres of the
15 - 44
German target shooting an hunting weapons industry.
His knowledge, combined with the experience gained over many years of weapon
manufacture, provided him with especial expertise in the production of button-rifled barrels.
Lothar Walther was the youngest son of Carl Walther, the founder of the world-famous gun
factory, where the renowned Walther pistol was developed and produced.
After the second World War, the company transferred its activities to Koenigsbronn in the
southern part of Germany, where it remains to the present.

1935
As a member of the German National Pistol Team, Lothar Walther won many German
Championships and the bronze medal at the 1939 World Championships. Competing at
the highest levels in international target shooting gave him an intimate knowledge of the
requirements of shooters.
Up to 1996 the son of the founder, master toolmaker Klaus Walther managed the company
LOTHAR WALTHER. From 1997 on his sons Dr.-Ing. Frank Walther and master craftsman
of mechanical engineering Gerd Walther took over the managements. Both gained broad
engineering experience and technical knowledge by working for different companies in
Germany and abroad.

Today
Equipped with the latest technical machinery, LOTHAR WALTHER currently manufactures button-rifled barrels from spe-
cial gun steel and stainless steel, in more than 250 different calibres for target shooting, hunting, muzzle-loading and
air guns. These barrels are made for the whole spectrum of shooting, encompassing shooters with modest requirements
right through to those who wish to compete at the highest international level.
By the acquisition of a complete production line (4-spindle SIG drilling machine, 3-spindle honing machine an a GFM
hammer forging machine) in 2015, LOTHAR WALTHER is now the first supplier of gun barrels worldwide who offers
different manufacturing processes under one roof. In addition to the button-rifled barrels which are already known for
their highest accuracy, LOTHAR WALTHER now can produce hammer-forged barrels in many calibres specialy .223 /
5,56 / .308 / 7,62 and 9 mm.
This method allows to make the rough contour and chamber of a barrel in one work step. Therefore ist is mainly used for
large-scale production. Beside the machines, LOTHAR WALTHER also has access to tools, operating processes and the
know-how of Swiss skilled workers with long-time experience, so the company is well prepared for this new business.

USA
In 1995 the company LOTHAR WALTHER Precision tool Inc., based in Cumming,
Georgia was established in order to produce and supply to the increasing U.S.
market. Equipped with state of art machinery, LOTHAR WALTHER offers the full
service to the US-market.
