In 2015 Delta merged and acquired Eltek, which created a synergy of strategy development and competition advantages for both parties, optimizing allocation of resources and complementarity. This has further reinforced Delta Group's global position, which contributes to optimizing customer service quality. Telecom power supplies, industrial automation, and renewable energy are our three main commercial sectors, but at the same time, we are expanding our business to datacenters, smart buildings, smart factories, and custom-made high efficiency power systems, providing more comprehensive solutions. "
