"We were managing fasteners across nine different suppliers and constantly running into shortages. AFC consolidated the entire program and our line hasn't stopped since."

Marcus T.Director of Procurement Mid-Size Automotive OEM

"Our designs use a high percentage of specialty hardware that other distributors simply cannot source on our timeline. AFC stepped in, learned our program, and has been indispensable ever since."

Sandra K.Supply Chain Manager Tier 1 Aerospace Manufacturer

"We replaced five cutting tool vendors with one AFC program and the difference was immediate. Better pricing, fewer gaps, and a team that actually understands how our floor runs."

David R.Plant Manager Precision CNC Manufacturer

Most distributors hand you a catalog. AFC hands you a team that understands the compliance requirements, technical specifications, and production pressures specific to your world. That's why we operate three focused business units, so the person managing your account isn't learning your industry at your expense.
