A Brief History of J. Daniel

In 1979, Danella began to expand its footprint outside of Pennsylvania. With this expansion came new business ventures, including the opening of an Ohio division in 1981. This new division needed a name, something that could continue to portray the Danella brand. With the help of Gina Pierce, Jim Danella’s Executive Assistant, it was decided the company should be named J. Daniel, utilizing Jim’s middle name.

Over the next 30 years, J. Daniel has successfully grown to include a team that has extensive knowledge of the utility industry.
