So firstly, where is AFS based, and how many staff are working for the brand now?
AFS is a French brand from the Foil and Co group, a company specialized in the manufacturing and sale of equipment for wingfoil, surf foil, SUP foil, and windfoil. We are experts in the design and manufacture of products made from composite materials. Through our AFS brand we produce 100% carbon foils, made from A to Z in our factory in Pencran, in Finistere, France. Our factory is surrounded by beautiful spots where we test our products throughout the year. We are part of a region that we call in France the “sailing valley” – our region is a recognized innovation hub for the maritime world, and we are proud to be a part of it.
We are now 44 people who’ve worked together for several years, covering all bases: R&D, foil production, logistics, and marketing. A small part of the team is now also located in different countries, such as the US, to ensure our international development. But we are currently growing our team to support our company growth.
