AFC manages your inventory, restocking bins as required, allowing your staff to focus on high-value tasks and freeing up working capital.

AFC consolidates the number of vendors you deal with, reducing invoicing and alleviating the stress of sourcing and chasing deliveries.

AFC has seen a 20% reduction in leakage of high-value stock by managing with our vending solutions.

As part of our VMI services, we offer an extensive array of products, including standard fasteners and C-Class components. If you need it, we will source it.

Technical Products

Smalley Wave Springs reduce height by 50%, offering the same force and deflection as ordinary springs, and fit tight radial and axial spaces.

Smalley Spirolox Retaining Rings, unlike die-stamped rings, are coiled to an exact diameter, have a uniform cross-section, and are burr-free.
ARaymond’s wide range of quick connectors, covers all fluid delivery solutions for cars, trucks, off-road vehicles, and two/three-wheelers.
These components are engineered to meet unique requirements, specifications, or challenges that standard parts may not adequately address.
