History

Delta Electronics[4] was founded in 1971 in Xinzhuang Town, Taipei County (now Xinzhuang District, New Taipei City). Its first products were TV deflection coils, electronic components and winding magnetic components. It is also a supplier of cooling components. On August 20, 1975, Delta Electronics was reorganized into a company limited by shares.

As a result of the US-China trade war, Delta cut its headcount in China by more than half and expanded operations in India and Southeast Asia.[2]

In 2020, Delta had NT$282.6bn (US$10bn) in sales.[2]

In December 2021, the company announced the acquisition of United States-based Universal Instruments Corporation for approximately 89 million dollars. The more than 100-year-old Universal Instruments will continue to operate independently and without a change in management. Universal holds more than 500 automation related patents.[5]

In July 2022, Delta announced they would be expanding their Plano facility with the addition of 400,000-square-foot manufacturing, research, and development hub that could require "hundreds" of new employees.
