Overbeke-Kain Co.

Promotes Gallagher

Alex J. Gallagher

The appointment of Alex J. Gal- lagher to vice president, manufac- turing and sales, of the Overbeke-

Kain Company, Bedford, Ohio—a leading producer of marine doors, hatches, and dock hardware—has been announced by R.E. Overbeke, president. Mr. Gallagher, who join- ed the company in 1967 as produc- tion manager, was also made man- ager of marine product sales, which accounts for about 75 percent of the company's volume.

In the latter capacity, Mr. Gal- lagher has visited every major ship- yard in the United 'States, and has been involved in successful negoti- ations for such major closure con- tracts as complete door ship sets for the two nuclear-powered air- craft carriers Eisenhower and Nim- itz, being built by Newport News

Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co.,

Newport News, Va. "I have 'found the shipbuilding in- dustry completely revitalized," said

Mr. Gallagher, "and our name well- known wherever I've visited. I can safely predict that we can 'antici- pate all of the marine closure busi- ness that the company can handle for the next several years."

Prior to joining the Overbeke-

Kain Company, Mr. Gallagher was production manager of the Dura

Corporation, Zanesvi'lle, Ohio,

Farm Implement Division, which employed 500 persons and reported sales of over $15 million. He joined

Dura in 1962 from the Aerojet

General Corporation, Azuza, Calif., where he served as production con- trol manager of the company's aerospace products.

Mr. Gallagher is a member of the American Production and In- ventory Control Society. 42 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
