The full-day event kicked off with a tour of our East Austin mill, giving guests an inside look at Delta’s process of transforming raw wood into finished product. Attendees then headed to breakout sessions on advanced wood technologies, including acetylated wood by Accoya and thermally modified woods presented by Lunawood. These sessions—each offering CES credits—highlighted Delta’s ongoing commitment to clean wood technology and education.

The afternoon panel, Built to Last: Craft Meets Modern Architecture, shifted the focus to builders and design-build firms, with insights from Colega Architects, Discovery Builders, and New West Builders. The conversation was moderated by Delta CEO Robbie Davis and Technical Director Barret Kruggel, reinforcing Delta’s collaborative ethos and its reputation for supporting projects from concept to installation.

Today, we celebrate the pioneering spirit of our historic mill and continue this legacy of excellence and experimentation. Delta Millworks has grown from our founder Bob Davis’ original dream of sustainably repurposing discarded wood into full-scale a producer of some of the most sought-after cladding options in North America, forging partnerships with leading international timber brands that share an equal dedication to sustainability.

Bob’s son and Delta Millworks’ current owner, Robbie Davis, has been an integral part of Delta’s continued success and passion for reinvention in the wood building products industry. Through his perceptive, aesthetic eye and curiosity for learning about the benefits of wood, Delta has become a favorite brand among some of the country’s most sought-after architects and designers, inspiring a new generation of builders focused on creating a healthy and safe planet for future generations.
