Delta Defense has gotten approval from the West Bend Plan Commission to build a $13 million, 65,000-square-foot facility, which will allow the company to add up to 135 jobs by 2020.
The new headquarters will be built on Corporate Center Drive. Delta Defense has been located in the 30,000-square-foot Museum of Wisconsin Art, 300 S. 6th St. since moving its headquarters from Jackson in November 2013 and is “busting at the seams,” said Katie Strupp, company spokesperson.
Delta Defense provides insurance and training materials for firearms owners. It also publishes Concealed Carry Magazine. The company currently employees about 70 people – 55 work at the headquarters and the others work remotely, Strupp said.
The new jobs will likely be created in marketing, content and customer service, Strupp said.
Delta Defense has been working with Milwaukee-based architecture firm Kahler Slater and Minneapolis-based development firm The Opus Group to develop, design and build the new facility.
The main product offered by Delta Defense is membership in the United States Concealed Carry Association. USCCA membership has grown more than 80 percent in the last two years, according to the company.
