Overview

Spalding SSD was established in Calgary, Alberta and has been providing doors and entryway solutions to Western Canada since 1952. Spalding fabricates, manufactures, and distributes custom doors, frames, and access control systems for schools, hospitals, and municipalities.

To align with the branding strategy, Spalding wanted to leverage their company values, expertise, and accumulated experience to position itself as thought leader in the industry.
