Delta Motor Corporation was a South African car manufacturer, which was created through a management buy-out after General Motors (GM) divested from South Africa in 1986. In 1997, GM acquired a 45 per cent stake, and in 2003 the company became a fully-owned subsidiary, General Motors South Africa.
It assembles Opel, Isuzu and Suzuki models for sale in South Africa and for export to other right hand drive markets in the region. It also imports and services other GM models.
Delta, which General Motors holds a 49% share in, is the Southern African manufacturer and distributor of Opel and Isuzu, and the distributor of Suzuki.
Delta PandA implemented the SAP R/3 business system in 1999 to improve the accuracy and response time to customer orders, and streamline its operations by eliminating picking errors.
Delta choose RangeGate as its supplier for this system because of its direct presence in Port Elizabeth and the ability of its solution to integrate directly into SAP R/3 using InterSys Enterprise Application Integration software suite.
The roots of Delta began in a 1954 USAF Request for Proposals for an Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile capable of carrying a thermonuclear bomb 1,500 miles — the distance from England to Moscow.
The original Delta could place a 100 pound payload in geostationary transfer orbit, though it was used for lower orbits only, and was initially regarded as an interim vehicle until more powerful rockets could be developed.
The latest modification to the Delta II is a 10-foot-diameter composite fairing which offers several improvements over the aluminum skin-and-stringer construction of the old 10-foot diameter fairing that was used to protect such observation satellites as POLAR and WIND.
