Our History

Founded over 60 years ago, AFTCO is a third-generation family owned and operated business focused on organic long-lasting growth through key independent retailers and direct-to-consumer efforts. We are the counterbalance to a market saturated by private equity firms acquiring brands and producing low-quality goods. Learn more about AFTCO here.

Our Values

AFTCO has a long history of giving back. Through our Pledge to Protect and Conserve, we have contributed more than 10% of company profits to help protect our resources and ensure a sustainable fishery for future generations. Learn more about our conservation efforts here.

AFTCO is a growing apparel company in the fishing and outdoor space with a legacy of American made hardgoods. We are not a fashion company. From the freezing winter temperatures in Upper Michigan to the harsh summer humidity in Costa Rica, AFTCO products are built to last under the most extreme conditions.

We are hiring

The fishing industry and AFTCO experienced tremendous growth over the past year. View our current job openings below:
