A fifth-generation, family-owned manufacturer in Michigan’s Great Southwest founded 117 years ago continues to grow internationally, with the acquisition of an Italian company to help address market needs in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Armstrong International, headquartered in Three Rivers, has acquired Delta2 outside of Milano, Italty with the targeted plan of expanding control valve offerings in the EMEA market.
Armstrong is a global leader in providing integrated, intelligent solutions that improve utility performance, lower energy consumption, and reduce environmental emissions. For more than a century Armstrong has taken a holistic – or systems – approach to utility optimization. The Armstrong team understands how components of a utility system work together, how they affect one another, and as a result, how to achieve optimal performance from entire utility systems for a broad array of industrial applications.
Founded in 1900, Armstrong International is a privately-held, fifth-generation family-owned company. Throughout The Great Depression, two world wars, multiple recessions, and much more, the company has continued to evolve, expand and thrive. Today, the company’s global enterprise has more than 3,000 employees and representatives serving the world.
Delta2 will now operate as a fully integrated unit of Armstrong International — EMEA. Rossen Ivanov is Managing Director of that unit, and he says, “Delta2 has been manufacturing a wide range of control valves and pneumatic operators for more than 30 years.” He adds, “This acquisition will allow us to now offer out customers in the oil and gas, food, pharmaceutical, power and general industries a wider range of control valves in various connection types, sizes, and materials to cover most of their applications.”
In addition to bolstering Armstrong’s control valve offerings, Ivanov points out the acquisition of Delta2 will also expand Armstrong’s line of direct acting pressure reducing valves and de-superheating stations.
Douglas V. Bloss is President & CEO of Armstrong Global Holdings. He notes that in addition to expanding Armstrong’s product range in the critical EMEA market, the acquisition was made even more attractive due to the talent Delta2 brings to Armstrong.
Bloss says, “The significant technical knowledge of Delta2 employees, and its flexible supply chain, will be an important asset in sustaining our efforts to grow Armstrong’s Pressure & Temperature Control range in EMEA.”
The Armstrong heritage of knowledge and expertise reaches back more than a century, giving them a keen ability to think and plan for the future. Company leaders point to a uniquely clear, long-term perspective that enables them to serve customers in ways that seemingly no other company can.
Armstrong International provides intelligent system solutions that improve utility performance, lower energy consumption, and reduce environmental emissions, while providing an enjoyable experience. Armstrong International is headquartered in Three Rivers, but has manufacturing, sales and seminar centers located throughout North America, Europe, Asia and the subcontinent of India.
