JAFE is one of Darke County’s hidden treasures and tends to go under the radar when talk turns to local manufacturers. However, this business would not have been where it is today without its founder, Lloyd Williams, and his initial vision. Although O’Dell has been with business for approximately 20 years, he has owned it for eight years. “Lloyd was a father/mentor figure to me for me for almost 20 years and something that we wanted to do was keep the tradition of a family-owned business going,” said O’Dell.
