Delta History

Delta Industrial Sales, Inc. was founded in 1987 by Wannis Parris, and William & Carol Robison. The original intent of the business was to distribute high quality, AMERICAN made valves to the Iron & Steel Industries located in the Midwestern United States. In 1989, under the leadership of Keith Stelter, the Company modified its business plan to include the manufacturing of a high quality knife gate valve. The decision to do so was a combination of the valve markets need for a superior knife gate valve and a local foundry closing its doors. As this time Delta Industrial Sales, Inc. changed it's name to Delta Industrial Valves, Inc. and worldwide distribution was established.

In 1993, the United States Patent Office awarded Delta Industrial Valves, Inc. two patents for its unique design concepts. Since this time, Delta has offered the industry many market firsts. These include the first full rated ASME 150 & 300 class knife gate valves, built in limit switch mounts, and the first integrated lockout device as standard product.

The team at Delta prides itself in its ability to quickly transform new research and development concepts into real performing valves. These concepts come from both within Delta’s engineering group and from its clients. By listening to their customers, Delta is able to manufacture superior valves that perfectly meet the customer's needs.

Today, Delta Industrial Valves are manufactured at a modern 140,000 square foot manufacturing complex located in Niles, Michigan, 90 miles east of Chicago, Illinois.

The team at Delta is dedicated to providing the best valves for the most demanding industries. Delta Industrial Knife Gate Valves can be found worldwide by contacting us at 1-800-743-4283 or by email here.
