FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ALPHARETTA, Ga., May 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At nearly 100 years old, a $267 million publicly traded company is rebranding itself to better reflect its diverse offerings.
Superior Uniform Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGC) shareholders voted to approve changing its name to Superior Group of Companies to better embody its position as a parent company of branding divisions at its annual meeting on Thursday afternoon.
SGC serves some of the world’s most respected brands with call center support, custom promotional products and uniforms. The company delivers more than 12 million promotional products and communicates with more than 10 million consumers annually. SGC outfits more than 5 million American workers each day.
“Our new name recognizes our rich history as ‘Superior’ and includes how diverse we’ve become as a family of companies all working toward brand enhancement,” said CEO Michael Benstock. “This name change and rebrand allows us to better identify our company and represents all of our branding solutions under the Superior Group of Companies name.”
Founded in 1920 as a uniform provider of medical apparel, SGC grew into one of the country’s largest designers, manufacturers and distributors of branded uniform programs. The company launched a call center division in 2008 and a promotional product company in 2009. Over the past five years, SGC acquired five companies in the uniform and branded merchandise space and achieved a 41 percent compounded annual growth rate in its call center business. SGC is an international leader in brand-building services.
