Company History and Business Model

Formerly known as G.P. Electronics Ltd, Delta Manufacturing was established in 1985 with technical know-how from TKS Japan. The company is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of magnets used in magnetos of two-wheelers, starter motors of two-wheelers, three-wheelers and four-wheelers, wiper motors of four-wheelers, industrial stirrers, solar fans and bicycle dynamos.

The manufacturing operations are strategically located with the company's manufacturing facility situated at Nashik - 180 Kms, North of Bombay, India - which is the nearest sea as well as airport. The company has established its own Quality Management Systems in place to produce international standard Hard Ferrite Magnets. This strategic positioning provides logistical advantages for both domestic distribution and export operations.
