The new Enerpac Specialised Bolting distributor in SA, Waltan Tools & Equipment has more than 25 years of experience in applying practical, safe and efficient bolting solutions for companies in sectors such as mining, energy, oil and gas, manufacturing, materials handling and construction.

Enerpac National Bolting Manager Mr Pat Molloy explained that Waltan Founder Wally McDonald was one of the earliest in the torque industry to develop the benefits of advanced fastening technologies as companies increasingly moved away from time-consuming, hazardous and often inaccurate manual fastening methods.

Waltan will be supported by Mr Peter Sampson, Territory Manager, South Australia and Northern Territory.
