Unless you’ve been living in a storm drain or under a bridge collecting tolls for the past few month, you’ll be aware of the shakeup that is the sale od the Delta brand by Stanley Black and Decker. Well, on February 7th Delta Power Equipment Corporation announced that it has officially closed the deal to purchase the DELTA brand of woodworking equipment and machinery from Stanley Black & Decker. The new Delta Power Equipment Corporation is based in Anderson, South Carolina. At this new location, they will continue the Made in USA tradition of designing, manufacturing and marketing the world class UNISAW, radial arm saws and BIESEMEYER accessories.
“We are right on track with our transition plan and expect to begin moving machinery and equipment from the Jackson, Tennessee location very soon. We expect to have the Anderson facility fully operational in April. In addition, I’m pleased to announce that Alicia Hicks has been named Marketing Manager for the organization and additional staffing is well underway.”
– Bryan Whiffen, President & Chief Executive Officer
