Overhead Door Corp. has acquired the assets of Motion Access, an Elk Grove Village, Illinois-based provider of automatic pedestrian door operators, replacement parts, retrofit solutions and rebuilt equipment. Motion Access will continue operating under its existing name as part of Horton Automatics, the premium access brand within Horton Pedestrian Access Solutions, a division of Overhead Door Corp.
Strengthening Aftermarket and Service Capacity
Overhead Door said the deal expands Horton’s aftermarket, service and retrofit capabilities for automatic pedestrian door solutions across North America, adding a company that has built its reputation serving automatic door professionals nationwide.
“Motion Access has earned a reputation as a trusted provider of automatic entrance solutions, and we are excited to welcome their team into the Horton family,” said Kelly Terry, president and CEO of Overhead Door Corp. “This acquisition strengthens our aftermarket and service capabilities, expands our product offering, and reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative solutions and exceptional support to customers throughout North America.”
Motion Access owners Joseph Madden, Robert Oakley, Gilbert Valencia and Michael Valencia said in a joint statement that finding the right long-term home for the business was one of the most important decisions they had made as owners, and that joining Horton creates new opportunities for employees and customers.

Lewisville, Texas-based Overhead Door Corp., a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Sanwa Holdings Corp., serves more than 4,500 professional distribution partners across residential, commercial, institutional and industrial access markets.
