More WIRE STORIES about this company

 PROFILE
Walter Industries' widespread operations are wavering. With a business base of homebuilding, energy, and metals manufacturing, Walter wants to narrow its operations by selling its aluminum and coal mining units. Other businesses include the company's United States Pipe and Foundry, a leading maker of iron pressure pipe for carrying water. Each year Jim Walter Homes sells about 4,400 build-on-your-lot single family homes, which are priced in the low to moderate range. Other subsidiaries manufacture a range of metals and metal products; make insulating fiber and specialty chemicals; and market petroleum coke. KKR Investors owns 30% of the company.
