AFT: the company
Aikawa Fiber Technologies (AFT) can trace its roots to the Union Screen Plate Company 100+ years ago. No other supplier to the pulp and paper industry has as much screen design, manufacturing, and screening applications experience.
We are truly a global supplier, serving customers in all key market areas with advanced components and optimized systems. Our manufacturing network includes:
