Our Vision

AFP provides innovative building protection and safety solutions for our customers and community. We are known and respected for our quality, integrity and expertise. Customers will use us when they want the job done right. Suppliers will turn to us when they want their product represented in an expert and professional manner.

There seems to be a trend today where people change jobs more frequently than they did in the past. My goal is to provide a place where employees can grow, learn and thrive within our organization over the long-term. I want to create an environment where employees can balance their work life, their personal life and what they’re passionate about. If work doesn’t feel like work and you are happy in your relationships, you know you have achieved that balance. Brett Straten, CEO
