Delta-Star Electric Company was founded in Chicago in 1908. H. K. Porter bought it in 1950, and it became an employee owned company after separating from Porter in 1988.
Its plants are in San Carlos, California (1950) and Lynchburg, Virginia (1962), where it is headquartered, plus a Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec plant bought from Alstom in 2015. It put its first mobile power transformer into service in 1976.
On September 1, 2026 Delta Star announced it will be acquired by MacLean Power Systems, a Blackstone portfolio company, with closing expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Selling Delta Star equipment: what people ask.
Yes. Age does not stop a purchase. Older Delta Star units sell for spares, parts, or metal, and the nameplate tells us which.
Oil-filled units built before 1980 may contain PCBs. We sample before an offer is final. We do not give disposal guidance on the web; call and a person will walk you through it.
Yes. Failed units are worth their core, windings, breakers, copper, and steel. Tell us what failed if you know.
Clear nameplate photos get a reply during business hours. A firm number may wait on inspection or testing.
Mixed brands on one job? Put them on one offer. We buy every manufacturer, including the ones that no longer exist.
