Convincingly visionary

AFC is located in Mainleus in Upper Franconia, only a stone’s throw from Bayreuth and about 100 km from Nuremberg. Our company may be young, but the solutions which we create are mature and visionary. You can see for yourself with the information on the following pages. You are also very welcome to visit us personally at our plant.

Absolutely dynamic

Since the founding of our company in 1999 and the beginning of production in the following year, a lot has been accomplished. These figures say everything: At the beginning, we manufactured about 8 t carbide a month with 27 employees. Today, after expanding our operation three times, our monthly capacity has already risen to over 70 t carbide and our annual manufacturing capacity is estimated at about 1000 t. Our greatest capital? Our workforce which has grown to over 90 employees in the meantime. They are dedicated and work on our dynamic development. Successfully.

Simply innovative

It can be seen time and again that simple ideas are often the best: Our patented process for the manufacturing of our “specialty” – carbide rods with spiral cooling ducts – is based on such an idea.

Multiply talent

Highly specialized products require highly qualified know-how, which we have: Many of our employees can look back on more than ten years of professional experience in the manufacturing of carbides. Dedicated engineers and specialists work together with master craftsmen for the further development of our products and services. A profitable potential which pays off for you. In problem solutions which meet your requirements perfectly.
