Job Title
President and Founder
Company Name
S.F. Marketing, Inc.

Sol Fleising worked for Erikson’s Musical after earning his business degree and even worked in a small music retail store for a while, but he had a vision to own his own company. During the boom of pro audio and electronic instruments of the 1970s, Sol focused on bringing products to the Canadian market that otherwise may not have been covered by the larger wholesalers at the time. SF Marketing built a strong reputation for service and innovative products, which Sol took great pride in developing and expanding into new or different markets. He has remarked several times how he did not expect the company to grow the way it has, but that he feels strongly that the main element of its success are the people.
