A Burnaby company that makes battery chargers and tests batteries has a brand new headquarters.
Delta-Q Technologies recently celebrated its move into a new 30,000-square foot headquarters in Burnaby. The new digs includes a larger battery lab and higher power capacity, allowing the company to test more advanced chargers.
Delta-Q, founded in 1999, was acquired by Italian electrical engineering form Zapi Group in 2016, but has continued to operate under the Delta-Q brand.
Last year, the company broke a sales record with $100 million in sales.
"We have experienced strong growth in recent years, as evidenced by record-breaking sales in 2022,” said Delta-Q co-CEO Steve Blaine.
“Establishing our new global headquarters will enable us to sustain this momentum. The new space is configured to provide an optimal work environment conducive to collaboration, innovation and engineering design that provides the foundation for scaling a growing tech company."
Delta-Q employs roughly 130 people, many of them engineers who work in Delta-Q’s lab testing batteries and designing battery chargers, which are manufactured in China and Mexico. Delta-Q tests both lead-acid and lithium-ion rechargeable batteries.
“The move was really to precipitate growth and have a building that’s more in line with where we were as a company,” co-CEO and CFO Sarah Mackinnon told BIV News. "We call it our head office, but actually all of our engineering team is located in this pace, so in addition to being an office we have some very significant lab space."
