Our management team is committed to working closely with each of our manufacturer principals to design and execute thorough marketing and sales plans that cover all channels. Our focus is to create demand for products we represent by getting to the professionals that specify, install and use them. We emphasize organic growth by increasing share for our manufacturers rather than adding names to the line card. Delta-Q aligns with manufacturers looking for a true partner that can help create and execute strategies to achieve our common goals.
