In 1982 a new innovative
Italian writing instruments factory was established through the
partnership of Nino Marino, Ciro Matrone and Mario Muscente, named Delta
Srl.
From the beginning Delta has chosen
only the highest product standards to enter into the very demanding and
competitive international consumer market. Delta has chosen to control
every aspect of the pen manufacturing process in its southern Italian
facility under the watchful eyes of its skilled artisans. Over the last 15
years, Delta has finely tuned its processes raising the quality of the
final product to near perfection. This level of attention to detail
establishes delta in a category of its own.
Delta‘s research & development
department has committed itself to the study of innovative and exotic
materials. The Extrema collection, the world’s first writing instruments
line made of carbon fiber and titanium is the result of this intensive
research and development.
As a sponsor of the "G7
summit" held in July 1994 in Naples Italy, Delta offered the G7
limited edition to the 7 great leaders (Clinton, Yeltsin, Major, etc.) of
the leading economic nations, as part of a limited edition comprised of
1994 pieces. This 3-piece limited edition set is available to collectors
and pen enthusiast around the world.
Delta's most important collection to
date, JUBILAEUM 2000 has just been launched. Delta created this new
collection to celebrate the year 2000 when the holy year of Jubilee
coincides with the beginning of the 3rd millennium. Being the Pen Company
closest to the Vatican, DELTA was compelled to be the first to create a
JUBILAEUM pen. Delta has been also chosen to create a special pen for the
city of Venice in Italy. On September 7, 1998 the mayor of Venice receives
and declares the VENEZIA-limited edition, the official pen of the city of
Venice.
Today DELTA Fountain Pens are easily
recognizable by its use of the lateral lever filling system, introduced in
the early 1900’s and very much treasured by pen collectors. Of course
this precious filling system is reserved to special limited editions only. |
