Delta Brands Incorporated (DBI) was founded in 1964 as an engineering and manufacturing company focused on strip metal processing machinery. DBI served a niche market of the newly born “Service Center”. Prior to that time, steel producing mills processed their own steel on lines manufactured by the same companies that built the steel making equipment. Delta Brands offered these newly established service centers a more reasonable alternative.
Our initial products were Roll Forming Lines, Cut to Length Lines and basic Slitting Lines. The evolution of Delta Brands Incorporate has been an organic process. We have grown one product at a time, making improvements and developing new technology along the way.
In the mid ‘70’s and early ‘80‘s DBI focused on the abundant demand of heavy gauge Cut-to-Length Lines. During that era, the company delivered hundreds of line to all corners of the globe. Customers were located in the on six continents. In the early 1980’s, Delta Brands was the first US exporter of capital equipment to China’s service center industry.
In the mid 1980’s, a loyal Delta Brands’ customer ordered DBI’s first Push Pull Pickling Line. The line was installed and commissioned promptly and DBI is fortunate to continue a valuable and mutually beneficial relationship with that customer. DBI’s development of a Pickling Line design opened new doors for the company and Steel Producing Mills were added to the company’s list of prospective customer.
