Working with metal is in Richard Brenner's blood, like sawdust in the veins of a furniture maker or ink for a journalist.
That's why the former chief executive of Amarr Garage Doors seized the opportunity to expand his ownership stake in a Lexington company, Image Wizards LLC, that prints high-resolution photography and digital images on aluminum.
Image Wizards was founded in 2003 by Roger Laudy, who sold his share of the company to co-owner Brenner late in 2020 before entering retirement while serving as a consultant. The company, with 10 employees, is based at 105 Rogers Road in Lexington.
Brenner met Laudy in 2015 and had opted to take a half-ownership stake in 2016 with the potential of acquiring all of the company at some point.
