Afa Forest Products, Inc.

AFA Historic Identity In 1974, our company, AFA Forest Products Inc was founded by four colleagues and friends - Al Jack, Frank Ingoldsby, Al Young and Gord Pace, using three of their first initials to form the name of their venture. In its inception, with only one branch in Bolton, Ontario, the focus was on specializing in the distribution of construction plywood and lumber to the Ontario commodity market. The AFA of today, still a privately owned Canadian company, is truly coast to coast. There is a total of 16 branches stretching from Vancouver to Newfoundland, including our Visulam melamine plant in Lachute, PQ and two international branchs in Portland, Oregon, AFA is a leader in these markets. With a focus on allied products, AFA has maintained its position as one of the leaders in the distribution industry. With an external sales force promoting, supporting, merchandising and replenishing our product lines we will not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers. Our allied product lines such as melamine shelving and panels; laminate flooring; pre-finsihed wood and faux stone siding; and roofing shingles prove that our company is ready for the changes the market has brought to the industry. AFA prides itself in keeping up with today\'s trends and staying at the forefront of the distribution industry. Our transportation service effectively covers markets all across Canada and into the United States and today is regarded as having a satisfaction rate of the highest level in the industry. The AFA of today is a diversified, bilingual distribution company. Its employees are respected and well regarded in the Canadian renovation, retail and industrial industry. Our goal is to provide a service unmatched in the distribution industry and to lead the way with innovative products and marketing ideas for the future.
