After founding Autoglo in 1997, Ted Siljestrom relocated his business in 2002 from Marietta to 2200 Flintstone Drive in Tucker.

“The move was a strategic decision,” said Autoglo owner Ted Siljestrom. “Based on the district’s location and proximity to Hwy 78 and metro Atlanta’s thoroughfares, it just made sense and also went hand in hand with the dealerships I work with.”

The company currently employs 22 people at its 14,000 square foot facility, with hopes of either an expansion or second location soon. The family-owned and operated company is not only thriving but also believes in giving back to the community by sponsoring the Tucker Youth Soccer Association (TYSA), various Parkview High School athletics and the Smoke Rise Sharks.

We are fortunate to be able to highlight another incredible, prosperous and generous Tucker Summit CID business like Autoglo.
