Steve Caroselli and Tom Howell of Delta Turnstile Controls, Concord, Calif., wanted to focus on high-quality optical turnstiles for corporate and government lobbies. Caroselli, president, and Howell, CEO, formed Delta, dedicated themselves to two core product lines and haven’t looked back. Mike McGovern joined the company as vice president of sales and marketing. The company sells exclusively through access control dealers and now works with about a dozen dealers, but they are actively recruiting more.

“We’ve booked our first projects and we’re getting a lot of inquiries,” McGovern said. “We set our products apart through an exceptional anti-tailgating technology and a system which allows for a very low occurrence of false alarms,” Caroselli said. “In addition, the small footprint barrier turnstile is quite unique in that it allows for easier retrofitting of existing lobbies where available space can be critical.”

The company isn’t looking to be the biggest in the industry, but it is aiming to be recognized for its quality products. For now, they are focusing on their two product lines, but won’t rule out the possibility of adding more.

Optical turnstiles have seen considerable growth over the last five years, McGovern said, and the company hopes to capitalize on this demand.
