Though the company’s sales fell 25% in 2020, Nadel and Abergel got high marks from peers for their creative kitting campaigns (overseen by Abergel) to stay in contact with clients and staffers, and for Nadel’s willingness to speak with candor during interviews and webinars on not only the state of the industry, but the company his family founded. With sales up in Q2 and Q3 of this year to pre-pandemic levels, and an eye toward growing JNI’s overseas business, Nadel and Abergel’s focused and steady approach to rebuilding their business is one that’s proving effective.
