About Us
 Delta Research began in 1952 as a prototype transmission and powertrain developer for the Big 3 automotive industry. Founder, Alex Sakuta, built a strong foundation for the company by providing outstanding quality & design and build projects.
His legacy lives on through our current owner (and son), Bob Sakuta. Bob started working for Delta in 1978 and has taken the organization to new levels and has grown the company from ten employees to nearly one-hundred..
Now with the addition of Delta Gear, (formerly Tifco Gage & Gear) to the team, Delta Research has positioned itself as the premier prototype transmission, engineering and powertrain facility in the industry.
