Delta Group manufactures custom electrical wiring harnesses, printed circuit boards and turnkey assembly services throughout the southern half of the United States, noted the AEDC release.

“The fact that Delta Group Electronics chose to expand in northwest Arkansas is a testament to the company’s Arkansas workforce,” said Maria Haley, Executive Director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. “We appreciate the company’s commitment to doing business in Arkansas and look forward to its continued success.”

The new 36,000-square foot building will be located on Interstate 540 and near the University of Arkansas campus and will provide the assembly capabilities and available space for Delta Group to handle orders for its customers in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri.  Delta Group expanded into this market in 2008 with the acquisition of Bitworks Inc., which was an EMS-company located in the community of Prairie Grove in northwest Arkansas, AEDC explained in the release.
 
“We are extremely excited to begin the next phase of our expansion into this region of the United States. The new building will allow us to provide the assembly capabilities our customers expect from its EMS contractor, as well as provide our employees with an attractive, convenient place to work,” noted Harry Mueller, president and CEO of Delta Group.

Delta Group was founded in 1987 and has assembly operations in San Diego, Dallas, Rockledge, Fla., and Fayetteville.
