In mid-September 2023, Delco Sales held an educational summit, dubbed “Accelerate 2023,” with two of its manufacturers’ Watts and T&S Brass.  

The unique event, held in West Hollywood, California at the Peterson Automotive Museum, drew over 100 specifying engineers and facility manager attendees. 

“What an event. I couldn’t be more pleased with the venue and the turnout,” explained Chris Nicosia, Delco’s CEO. Watts and T&S both understand specifying engineer needs. It’s apparent in their investment in education, product technology, and solutions. As Delco celebrates 60 years of service, we couldn't be more excited to serve our engineering community and to represent Watts Water Technologies and T&S Brass.“  

Watts displayed a large, working backflow and a variety of smart and connected products such as roof drain monitors, Orion chemical drains, BLŰCHER stainless steel pipe and drains, and digital mixing technologies. T&S Brass showcased many faucets, parts, and accessories.  

Attendees had limited access to the museum from 5 to 7 p.m. Opening remarks were offered at 6 p.m. by Delco Sales’ Chris Nicosia, CEO, and principal; Taylor Grist, director, sales operations and national sales Managers; and Zack Thiesen, director of sales for lab and plumbing, T&S Brass.
