About Us
About Us
Walton Engineering, an AMOT Controls brand, was founded in 1942 by engineer Frederick Simpson to support wartime manufacturing. For more than 60 years, the company has focused on developing and refining temperature control valves.
Production began in the 1950s at our St. Albans, England site, where early valves used simple bi-metal coils and were first installed on diesel locomotive engines. The bi-metal coil was later replaced by a fixed-range wax element integrated into the valve mechanism.
Walton Engineering soon expanded into marine and naval markets. For more than 50 years, the Royal Navy and other navies have relied on our valves to regulate temperatures in critical systems aboard ships and submarines.
In recent years we’ve added multiple actuation and control methods, and today offer a complete range of temperature control valves. Our products are known for reliability, rugged performance and low maintenance—grounded in expert design and proven engineering.
Quality
The accreditation of Walton’s quality management system to independent external standards has been a long-term policy that helps us continually improve our performance and provides customers with the highest level of confidence in the quality of Walton’s products.
Walton’s Quality Management System was first certified in the 1980s to the NATO Inspection System Requirements for Industry AQAP4, and then the BS 5750 Quality Standard. In the 1990s Walton migrated to the International Standards Organisation ISO 9001, adopting the 1994, 2000 and 2008 versions of the standard.
Walton is currently accredited by National Quality Assurance to BS EN ISO 9001:2015 and this status is maintained by regular surveillance and re-assessment visits.

We use advanced 3D Computer Aided Design software to design our products and simulate their performance in real-world operating conditions.
We are able to supply CAD files on request for most of our products in a choice of formats (Solidworks, STEP, etc.)
Our design capability also enables us to rapidly adapt any of our standard products to meet a specific customer requirement.
Our computerised manufacturing management system tracks sales orders and controls all aspects of procurement, production and despatch, ensuring that a high standard of delivery performance is maintained.
We machine many valve components ourselves in our well-equipped machine shop using materials of known origin purchased only from approved suppliers. Other parts are procured directly from high-quality, market-leading manufacturers.
After assembly, every valve is comprehensively pressure and function tested in our factory to ensure correct operation prior to packing and despatch.
We are always willing to create a customised solution for your application if none of our standard products are suitable
Our advanced computer aided design software and the flexible nature of the Walton valve design mean that this can often be a cost-effective approach.
