Delta Electronics

Delta Electronics, Inc. (Chinese: 台達電子工業股份有限公司) is a Power Electronics and Energy Management manufacturer founded in 1971 by Bruce C.H. Cheng. Delta has sales offices worldwide with manufacturing facilities and R&D centers in Taiwan, China, USA, Europe, Thailand, Japan, Singapore, India, Mexico and Brazil.

History

Delta began manufacturing components for Taiwan's TV makers so they could avoid depending on Japanese imports. It built its success on the parts that connect a TV to its power source, and that later put it at the center of the island's personal computer, notebook and telecom boom.

For years now Delta's gross profit margins have stayed above 20%. By focusing so much on upgrading its products, Delta has helped foster the celebrated obsession of Taiwan's manufacturers with staying on the cutting edge.

Delta has long made power adapters for brands like Apple Inc., but in 2012 it began a more ambitious project: to build robots cheap enough to replace human workers in China's electronics factories.
