Things You Didn't Know
Founder Alex Manoogian began humbly, selling the first faucets out of the trunk of his car.
Although Delta is now the largest faucet manufacturer in the United States, the company almost never came to be. Manoogian offered his design to several major faucet companies, and none of them wanted it. When he decided to make it himself, Delta Faucet Company was born.
Delta was the first faucet company to advertise on television, back in the early 1970s.
Also in the 1970s, Delta introduced a line of faucets called Deltique®. Their surfaces featured sculpted designs of flowers and foliage.
