Always Pioneering
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.
