Our history
AFF Groupe was born out of a passion for the industry, and a constant entrepreneurial approach.
Since 1915, cold heading has been the core business of the Auriol family. Cold forging, a profession inherited from the forge, sees its practice constantly evolving over the generations that follow one another.
At a time of modernization and digitalization of the industry, AFF Group aims to be a strong player in the development of its business and is advancing the notion of Forge 4.0Our
