Mr. Jaffee has had a thirty-plus year association with both the foodservice/hospitality and housewares industries. He has been associated with Amco Shelving, Leggett & Platt, and Focus Foodservice. Over the past six years he has concentrated his expertise into the commercial real estate market. “I’ve always had a passion for the foodservice/hospitality industry, and I’ve been associated with Darrin for over 30 years; the acquisition just seemed like a logical fit,” says Jaffee.
“The ESOP has been very successful for all of the employee owners of Snap Drape for the last 25 years, but when Keith contacted me regarding an interest in the company, it seemed like the timing was perfect to close the ESOP and begin a new chapter in Snap Drape’s 43 year history,” says Darrin Garlish, who has been the CEO of Snap Drape for the past 16 years.
Staying true to their history, Snap Drape Brands will continue with their reputable business of manufacturing table linens and textiles, but will add some new products to expand their footprint in the industry. “Everyone here at Snap Drape is thrilled about the sale and excited to see what the future holds.”
