Overhead Door Company of San Antonio

Just as Henry Ford's horseless carriage changed the way the world moved, a young man named C.G. Johnson invented the upward-lifting garage door in 1921 and changed the course of the garage door's place in history. Johnson traveled across the United States with a small prototype of the door mounted on the back of his Model T, promoting his new innovation at county fairs and in countless small towns. He was ahead of his time by using marketing and sales tactics such as, customer coupons and sales outlet bulletins to communicate the news about this innovative product and create a call-to-action. He established a network of distributors and soon his invention of the 'overhead door' gained widespread popularity. With the 1926 introduction of the first electric door opener came the foundation for his well-respected enterprise that would become known as Overhead Door Corporation. Today the Overhead Door Corporation, based in Dallas, Texas, is recognized as the leading single-source manufacturer of integrated door and operator systems for commercial, industrial and residential applications.
