Agio’s principal, Michael Tolassi, started an engraving company with a business partner several years. The company specialized in laser etching graphics on MP3 players. However, the retail store found that many small business owners were requesting custom branded merchandise. So the company quickly changed to selling promotional products. Michael Tolassi said that his military service taught him a key lesson to “adapt and overcome”. The company always adapts to meet the customer’s needs. It is this line of service that has allowed the company to grow from servicing small businesses to obtaining Fortune 500 clients. Today, Agio serves large and midsize companies.
