Delta Faucet Company is a division owned by Masco, which was founded in Detroit in 1929 by Armenian immigrant Alex Manoogian.

In 1952, an eager inventor brought Manoogian his latest invention, a one-handled faucet that mixed both hot and cold water with a ball-valve.

Unfortunately it leaked, but Manoogian was intrigued by the idea of utilizing hot and cold water with a single lever He therefore bought the faucet and its rights, improved it, and released it.

The company also operates manufacturing facilities in Lapeer, Michigan, Morgantown, Kentucky, and one outside the United States in Panyu, China.
