The history of AFCO began in 1855 in Pennsylvania, when the company mainly sold commodity chemicals and lubricants. After several investments and acquisitions, AFCO, a Zep company, is now one of the leading providers of innovative food and beverage sanitation and water treatment technology throughout North America.
With Bob Klinetob at the helm as senior vice president and general manager, AFCO is poised to expand their “promise and deliver” style of service to the West Coast, Canada and Mexico. Through the Assure™ Sanitation Program, AFCO’s SQF- and HACCP-educated reps provide technical service and a complete suite of products, including color-change smart technology, antimicrobial intervention, janitorial, MRO/maintenance and equipment.
Don’t be surprised if you see Klinetob getting dirty installing a track treatment system in a brewery. AFCO understands that food and beverage processors are looking for a partner in their business, someone who takes a team approach in helping them create quality products while making the planet safer, cleaner and more productive.
