Craig Walls named national sales manager for Delta

Delta Power Equipment Corp. named Craig Walls as its national sales manager. The wholly-owned subsidiary of Chang Type Industrial Co. Ltd., recently completed the purchase of the Delta brand of woodworking equipment and machinery and Biesemeyer accessories from Stanley Black & Decker.

"We are very pleased to have Craig Walls join our Delta team as national sales manager," Delta president and CEO Bryan Whiffen said in a company release. "For Craig it's like coming home; with more than 30 years in the woodworking industry, 19 years of that experience was as a sales professional for Delta Woodworking Machinery when it was part of Pentair. With his vast history of the Delta of old, we anticipate strong, customer-centered results from Craig as he develops his team of expert sales managers, which is his first order of business."

In his more than 25 years with Rockwell/Delta machinery, Walls held a number of positions within the organization, including area sales manager for Chicago from 1987-1999 and director of regional sales for the Central region from 2000-2005.

Most recently, Walls was national sales manager for Montreal-based General International, a manufacturer of woodworking and metalworking equipment.
