Walter Energy Company Description
Walter Energy has renewed its focus on natural resources. Its subsidiaries include Jim Walter Resources (coal production), Sloss Industries (foundry and furnace coke), and De-Gas (methane gas). Formerly a diversified company that included water products, homebuilding, and financing units, Walter Energy has divested itself of all but its natural resources and energy businesses. In early 2009 the company shuttered its Jim Walter Homes unit (single-family homes) and merged its home financing unit into what is now called Walter Investment Management Corp.. Following closure of that deal, the company changed its name from Walter Industries.
