In 1970 Strong moved his business to Trenton, Maine. There the working space expanded to 37,000 square feet, employees grew to 47 and their product line included printmaking, engravings, paintings, photography and woodcuts.
I got into every phase of manufacturing, Strong said. I had scientific knowledge and an approach that allowed me to do things no one else could do. My ceramic tiles and plaques were successful because many others in the business were making pie plates.
We developed new techniques and textures. We had less than one-tenth of one percent breakage. Demand for his decorative art kept growing. At its height his business had showrooms in New York, Chicago, High Point and Tokyo, as well as distribution centers in Canada and the Caribbean and representation in the Middle East. Strong traveled a great deal and some of the moldings he designed were manufactured in Belgium, Holland and Germany.
Strong gives much credit to his employees. We had a number of good artists, mat cutters and frame makers. One of my former employees came to see me about a year ago.
He is an artist and a very good one. He said, This was the best job I ever had because you never sat on anybody. You were open to every suggestion. You dont usually get that in a job.
Reflecting on those comments, Strong said, I gave so much latitude to the other artists because I respected them. We were a close-knit group.
