Delta's new plant in Slovakia uses advanced technology to produce power supplies and a variety of power products such as rectifiers, switches and controllers. These products can be used in communications, information technology, industrial automation and medical products. The new plant will provide sufficient capacity for Delta's future growth in Europe. Delta plans to expand its product range, such as automotive electronics, fuel cell power converters, and other advanced products currently only produced in Asia. Slovakia is expected to bring more business opportunities to Delta with its central location and the booming automotive industry in Europe.
The investment in plant and equipment of the new plant in Delta Slovakia exceeds US$20 million. The first phase of operation is expected to require 800 talents. The Sri Lankan government also granted Delta a tax concession of approximately $7 million. The new plant began construction in July 2006 and completed its first production line in February 2007. Adhering to the environmental awareness of Delta Group and the mission of “providing innovative products with high energy efficiency and pursuing better living products”, the design of the new Slovakian factory is also very environmentally friendly. The walls and roof of the plant have a good thermal insulation design with a K value of less than 0.19 watts per square meter, which is much lower than the official Slovak standard value of 0.30 watts. We not only use environmentally friendly building materials that are environmentally friendly, such as rock wool, mineral wool, etc., but also successfully recycle the heat energy wasted during the construction process.
