About AFTCO MFG CO, INC:


AFTCO is a constantly growing apparel company in the fishing and outdoor industry with a legacy of USA-made hardgoods. From the freezing temperatures in Michigan’s upper peninsula, to the blazing humidity of summer in Costa Rica, our products are built to handle the extreme. We believe in producing products that are built to last, balanced against the preferences of a primarily Southeast and Midwest customer. AFTCO stresses fabric selection for optimal performance, lasting construction, and subtle design cues over fashion preferences. We are not a fashion company.


We have been in business 61 years. We are a third generation, family-owned and operated business that believes deeply in the long-term. We do not focus on big box retail, but instead on organic long-lasting growth through key independent retailers and our direct-to-consumer efforts. In a world where private equity gobbles up brands to mass produce cheaply built goods, we are the exception to the rule. We are looking for an individual who shares our long-term thought process.
