When Philip Stolze walks into his printing company, he's ready to roll up his sleeves and go to work; and that's not just a figure of speech at Stolze Printing. Whether it's a problem with a piece of equipment or a plumbing leak at the 20,000-square-foot Stolze facility, you're likely to find company founder and President Philip Stolze out on the floor trying to fix the problem. "I am out there with my guys in my work clothes getting dirty. I'm a very hands-on kind of person," Stolze remarks, who has a background in maintenance.
