Our story

Started in 1988, AFT began in system design, fabrication, and installation of manufacturing solutions to convert recycled wastepaper to various end products. In 2001 we established a company owned 22,500 sf fiber manufacturing facility in Bucyrus, Ohio. Since, multiple expansions have grown to 61,500 sf. In addition, a 30,000 sf off site warehouse was acquired to supplement leased warehousing space.

We produce cellulose insulation as well as specialty fibers for industrial applications such as roof coatings, structural steel fire proofing, sealants, etc. Our various products are delivered from West Coast to East Coast as well as serving export markets.

We’re constantly upgrading the manufacturing process and excited about the successful fully automated packaging system with robotic palletizing.
In 2021, we celebrated 20 years of manufacturing high performance fiber products, and are excited for what’s to come in the future.
