Why AFC

Most distributors stop at delivery. AFC takes on the traceability, compliance documentation, and inventory management that AeroSpace & Defense programs demand, so your team stays focused on the mission,
not the paperwork.

Certified & Compliant by Default

AS9120B and ISO 9001 certified, ITAR and DFAR compliant, the credentials your program requires, without having to ask.

Traceability at Every Step

Components, aerospace & defense, and tooling, each with dedicated teams, certifications, and expertise built around your specific world.

One Partner Across the Whole BOM

Fasteners, components, specialty hardware, managed under one roof so nothing falls through the cracks.

In Their Words

"We needed a distributor who understood what compliance actually means on a defense program. AFC didn't just deliver parts, they delivered confidence that every single one was traceable, documented, and ready for audit."
