Cementing 50 Years of Power and Electronics Innovation, Delta Inaugurates its BREEAM Excellent-Certified R&D and Business Center in Drammen, Norway
Delta announced the official opening of its completely revitalized Research and Development (R&D) and business office facility at Gråterudveien 8 in Drammen, Norway.
Having achieved the prestigious BREEAM-NOR Excellent certification, the comprehensive deep-renovation project transforms a historic 50-year-old power electronics facility into a cutting-edge, 7,460-square-meter sustainable innovation hub. Designed to accommodate up to 210 employees, the facility serves as a vital development hub for Delta’s information and communications technology (ICT) power solutions, specifically advancing next-generation data center and telecom infrastructure. It integrates Delta’s own energy-efficient technologies to conquer the unique demands of high-capacity power testing, achieving an anticipated greenhouse gas emission reduction of over 50% compared to reference buildings.
In tandem with this landmark inauguration, Delta announced a strategic change to its local legal entity name, transitioning from Delta Electronics Norway AS to Eltek Norway AS to significantly strengthen market opportunities. This renaming perfectly combines.
Eltek’s renowned local expertise with Delta’s vast global resources. By aligning these strengths, the company aims to deliver industry-leading technology to its customers, accelerate time-to-market, and reinforce a powerful “local for global” strategy from the Drammen hub.
Dalip Sharma, President and General Manager of Delta Electronics EMEA, stated
“Guided by our corporate mission to provide innovative, clean, and energy-efficient solutions for a better tomorrow, this facility – our fourth green building in the EMEA region – demonstrates how legacy infrastructure can be transformed into a beacon of sustainability. While Delta is working globally toward our RE100 goal of operating entirely on renewable electricity by 2030, our EMEA operations proudly achieved this 100% renewable milestone in 2025. This new BREEAM Excellent-certified hub perfectly aligns with our ongoing strategy. It not only keeps our regional carbon footprint at an absolute minimum but also significantly accelerates our speed-to-market by streamlining the development of smart energy solutions for our customers.”
Combining traditional office spaces with massive, energy-demanding testing laboratories presents a unique “Lab Heat” challenge. To ensure maximum efficiency and an optimal work environment, the Drammen facility integrates advanced eco-technology and smart solutions:
- Advanced Power Regeneration
- Geothermal Thermal Storage
- Renewable Solar Energy
- Intelligent Energy Monitoring
- EV Charging Infrastructure
Drammen office is heavily focused on employee well-being, driving its pursuit of the WELL Building Standard. The architectural redesign intentionally relocated the main entrance to the center of the complex, creating a social “gravity” hub for spontaneous collaboration. This vibrant space flows upward into a bright, airy fourth-floor cafeteria and an expansive roof terrace. Currently housing 158 office workspaces with the capacity to expand to 210, the intelligent, fully automated lighting and climate systems ensure optimal indoor air quality and comfort for Delta’s growing Nordic team.
