As the locally owned Tod Avenue company enters its 46th year, Owner/Founder/CEO Dan Klingensmith shares the secrets of his company’s longevity and how he has adapted his business model through decades of technological change. When local businessman Dan Klingensmith first graduated from Youngstown State University with a degree in business and commercial art, he was offered a job with a local print shop. With a new wife and baby on the way, he made some changes then picked up some side-work that he did out of his garage, often working until well past 11PM do it get it all done. When the opportunity arose to buy his employer’s business, he jumped at the chance. “I was still working the same long hours,” he muses, “but at least I working for myself and my family plus we were growing the business.” He renamed the operation Solar Arts, to reflect his optimistic, peaceful mindset of an ideal utopian world.
