Founded in 1908, Bryan-based The Ohio Art Company produces decorated metal lithography for packaging and products, building on a century-old Ohio manufacturing tradition that began with metal picture frames and included the iconic Etch A Sketch. Its first lithography press was installed in 1912, and the company now pairs precision color printing with expanded metal-manufacturing and can-making capabilities following its 2024 acquisition of Allstate Can Corporation. Ohio Art is ISO 9001 certified and has received more than 30 internationally recognized awards over the past two decades.
