Delta Holdings Group is currently one of the largest conglomerates within Caninope, and a major section of it's economy. Delta Holdings Group is a large company that currently owns companies within multiple industries, including food production, automotive industries, airline industries and more. In addition, the company owns a controlling share of or a large portion of stock of companies in several other industries, including energy production, arms manufacturing, and finance.
History:
Delta Holdings Group was founded in 1763 as a family business, Darlen Foods, by a middle class farmer within Caninope. The company soon found itself expanding, bolstered by a cooperative (Delta Foods) that the middle class farmer created with the other families. Each of the 5 families found itself with a 20% share in the company/cooperative. These families (their trust funds actually) make up a major part of the company's ownership, even today. In 1898, after well over 100 years of service, the company was reformed as Delta Corporation, with the new incorporation laws that were being passed and the acquirement of a major steel company in the initial area, Fory Iron.
With the creation of Delta Corporation, the company grew, making several other acquirement in the decade following, including a print periodical and a car factory. With the emergence of the Caninopian economy, and the massive orders of the Caninopian Military in the years following 1910, the company grew massively. The military contracts that seemed to continue coming to the favored business would fuel it's growth into the 1940s.
In the 1950s, with the acquisition of many companies under it's belt, and the dilution of stock that came with that, the company was bought out by Delta Holdings Group, and incorporated into the group. Delta Holdings Group was formed by the Royal Family and the original 5 families' trusts, and it bought out the Delta Corporation, allowing all of it's subsidiaries to continue working under their old names. Since the 1960s, the company has began to purse a much more civilian based role, as it originally did, but military contracting does still make up a significant portion of it, or it's affiliate companies' business.
Who we are now:
The company is, currently, owned mostly by 6 trusts- those of the original families, and that of the Royal Family. There still remain some number of shares that may be bought by the public. In addition, some of the subsidiaries or affiliate companies are not wholly owned by DHG. DHG prides itself on being a bastion of the Caninopian economy, and it has consistently offered a return, both on stock price and in dividend.
