GEN-Y Hitch
GEN-Y Hitch is the perfect example of the ingenuity and innovation that is so common in the Nappanee community. A decade ago, the company began work on the design of an adjustable tri-ball/pintle combination hitch which would allow a truck to tow multiple types of trailers. The result of this work was the development of the patented GEN-Y Hitch. Since 2011, GEN-Y Hitch has continued to develop their line, which currently encompasses eight Class IV hitches as well as 3 Class V models (plus ramps and other accessories) and makes towing a breeze for individuals and fleets around the world!

Ayr Custom Cabinet
The Ayr story began in 1965, in the heart of the Amish community, in a small intersection called "Ayr" near Nappanee. Founder David Miller Jr.'s dream was to build truly custom cabinetry to the highest standards possible. From those modest beginnings and with the same vision, Ayr Cabinet Company has established itself as a leader in the custom cabinet marketplace. Although Ayr has seen tremendous growth, they have maintained the "small-town way" of doing business. Weldon Miller, David Jr's son, is now the owner and CEO, and, like his father, is insistent that Ayr builds nothing but a quality cabinet in the same tradition of integrity and craftsmanship.
