Delta held a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a new building in the Automotive Campus in Helmond, the Netherlands, on 25th of September. It will become the base for its industrial automation business in EMEA. The new building will meet rigorous environmental design demands and, given its green credentials, Delta plans to apply for a Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) Gold certification. The new building is currently expected to be operational in 2021, and will eventually house up to 150 employees.

“Delta is currently developing IoT-based Smart Green Solutions to drive energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions in cities across EMEA. Being a part of the Automotive Campus community will benefit Delta and its customers, by accelerating the pace at which it can quickly convert innovative ideas into solutions, while nurturing talent, exchanging knowledge and developing know-how”, said Dalip Sharma, Delta’s president for the EMEA region. He added: “In order to tackle numerous untapped opportunities, Delta is investing in this new building with the aim of strengthening the development in this diversified region to support the needs of the market, especially for our Industrial Automation Business Group.”

The Helmond office will support multiple business operations including sales, R&D and service and test lab capabilities for Delta’s Industrial Automation and Automotive businesses, which will greatly benefit business development. “Delta’s presence in Helmond is set to trigger new partnerships and collaborations with other companies and institutes located on or near the Automotive Campus or, for example, the High-Tech Campus Eindhoven,” said Tim Lee, head of Delta’s Industrial Automation Business Group and e-Machine Business in EMEA. The Campus provides an environment boasting leading innovation, dynamic infrastructure and a wide range of talents. Delta’s presence amid the vibrant Automotive Campus community, provides considerable potential for the company to grow even stronger as an energy efficiency solution provider.
