Preformed Line Products buys Brazil’s Delta Star Conetores to boost HV/EHV connectors portfolio
Preformed Line Products acquired Brazil’s Delta Star Conetores Eletricos Ltda., a 1985-founded manufacturer of HV and EHV substation connectors, to strengthen its Americas footprint. This deal complements its recent purchases of SubCon Electrical Fittings in Austria, Maxxweld Conectores in Brazil and Delta Conectores in Mexico.
1. Acquisition Details
Preformed Line Products finalized the purchase of Delta Star Conetores Eletricos Ltda., headquartered in Salto, Brazil. Delta Star, founded in 1985, specializes in high-voltage and extra-high-voltage substation connectors, supplying engineered components that support grid reliability and long-term performance.
2. Strategic Rationale
This acquisition extends PLP’s substation hardware platform across the Americas and expands its technical capabilities. Delta Star’s product expertise and established OEM relationships enhance PLP’s service offering and strengthen its U.S. substation business support.
3. Market Implications
By integrating Delta Star, PLP deepens its global supply chain and engineering network and gains additional manufacturing capacity in Latin America. The move is expected to drive synergies in production, reduce lead times for customers and bolster competitive positioning in evolving energy infrastructure markets.
