SDC Announces New Glass Door Initiative Spearheaded By Industry Veteran
CAMARILLO, CA – January, 2019 – In response to increased demand from the Glass Industry for access & egress door control solutions, SDC has tapped its Central Regional Sales Manager, Mary Hester, a 17-year glass industry veteran, to lead a new initiative for easing the adoption and practical application of electrified hardware to glass doors.
"Since Mary came on board at the end of 2016, we've been working on programs to leverage her extensive knowledge and experience in the glass industry for the benefit of glass and glazing professionals and organizations," said Shane Geringer, SDC’s President and CEO. "This segment has unique needs and a desire to tap in on the tremendous growth potential for electrified hardware, access controls, and compliance solutions specific to their markets and customers,"
"I can't count how many times in the last few years I've been told that my friends in the glass business have wondered what I've been up to," said Mary Hester. "Although I've been here the whole time, we're now ready to integrate a whole set of SDC product solutions and training that demonstrate the incredible opportunities to design or retrofit electrified hardware."
To that end, Mary is overseeing the assembling of SDC's many code compliant, electrified hardware products - door operators, exit devices, access controls and locking devices - into complete electronic system solutions for glass doors. Besides originating comprehensive training modules, Mary has worked extensively with SDC's product and marketing personnel to ensure glass professionals will have the information, benefits and installation details they need to be proficient, efficient and cost-effective in selling electrified hardware and solutions.
"Look for our specific Glass Door Solutions initiative sometime in the 2nd quarter of 2019, on the website and in our marketing. This market has been clamoring for more electrified hardware applications and SDC happens to be a great fit. I'm very excited about what we're bringing to market." Mary concluded.
