Columbus, OH (June 18, 2010) –Overhead Door Corporation, a leading manufacturer of overhead doors and openers for residential, commercial and industrial construction applications, has hired SBC Advertising as its public relations agency of record. SBC will support many Overhead Door initiatives through a comprehensive public relations strategy, including product launches, event management, product placement and social media engagement programs.

"SBC's proven experience in the building products category was a significant factor in our selection process," said Beth Somplatsky-Martori, vice president of marketing at Overhead Door. "However, the SBC team also showed that they could help us evolve our public relations program and provide a unified strategy for all of our brands," she added.

Overhead Door created the original overhead garage door in 1921 and the first electric garage door opener in 1926. Today, the company is comprised of three divisions, including the Access Systems Division (ASD), the largest, which features the Overhead Door, Wayne-Dalton and Genie brands; Horton Automatics, which includes automatic pedestrian entrance systems; and TODCO, the largest producer of overhead doors for the transportation industry worldwide.

"Overhead Door is a recognized category leader and the SBC team is thrilled to have this opportunity," said Zachary Bingham, vice president, SBC Public Relations.
