Working as a machinist, Manoogian saves enough money to buy two screw machines and start his own business with two partners, the Masco Screw Company. By the mid-1930s, sales reach $100,000 and the company goes public on the Detroit Stock Exchange.

Manoogian buys the rights to the idea for a singlehandle water faucet, intrigued by the thought you could achieve the right mix of hot and cold water with a single lever. Tweaking the design to create a ball-valve faucet, he calls his new product Delta, the symbol of change. He and his sales team sell the new faucet from the trunks of their cars and, with sales at almost $4 million by 1958, Manoogian opens a factory in Greensburg, Indiana.

Delta Faucet Company builds on its reputation for quality by adding decorative designs, textures and special finishes such as Antique Brass to the product line. It introduces the Peerless brand for do-it-yourself installers and begins television advertising to further connect with consumers.

Delta Faucet Company products grow to include the Monitor® pressure balance tub/shower featuring Scald-Guard® and the anti-tarnish finish called Brilliance® for shine that lasts a lifetime. Delta Faucet Company enters direct relationships with The Home Depot and Lowe’s, and opens a manufacturing plant in Jackson, Tennessee. To grow the commercial business, the Company buys an operation in London, Ontario, Canada, their first manufacturing plant outside of the U.S.

Delta Faucet Company continues to grow, introducing toilets at The Home Depot, and integrating Masco Bath to provide shower and tub enclosures.

The debut of VoiceIQ™ Technology pairs Amazon® Alexa® and Google® Assistant-enabled devices with Delta® Touch2O® Technology to create smart kitchen faucets with dependable, hands-free operation.
