What Delta International does

Delta International, LLC is a privately held, Asheville, NC-based distributor (1-10 employees) specializing in helicopter landing system parts for the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and international Naval systems. The company distributes components and parts across a defined product portfolio that includes the ASIST (Aircraft Ship Integrated Securing and Traversing), MAST (Manual Aircraft Securing and Traversing), RAST (Recovery Assist Securing and Traversing), and TC-ASIST (Twin Claw Aircraft Ship Integrated Securing and Traversing) securing and traversing systems, plus the MANTIS Aircraft Tug Modeling and Simulation offering. Operations trace back to Delta International, Inc, founded in 1998 in Arlington, VA, before the entity was reorganized as Delta International, LLC in 2019 in North Carolina. The company holds CAGE Code 89KS9, registering it as a government contractor with access to Department of Defense procurement channels.

The business operates on two revenue streams: hardware parts distribution (sold directly to government military customers globally) and Department of Defense contract negotiation services. Distribution is conducted via direct enterprise sales to government procurement offices, with no public pricing and no disclosed digital or marketing channels beyond a contact-based website (deltaint.com) and direct phone/email outreach. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with the company's stated differentiators being 26+ years of industry tenure, direct access to an extensive parts inventory, and expertise in navigating government procurement processes. Customer concentration is high by design: the only named logos are U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and international Naval systems, with no disclosed commercial or SMB segment.
