In 2013, in response to the "12th Five-Year Plan" National Independent Innovation Capability Building Plan, a group of technical experts and engineers with the ideal of serving the nation through industry established AFC in Ningbo, the world's largest port. They identified a gap in the market: consumers had to choose between expensive international brands and inconsistent low-priced products, lacking a professional option with "high value for money."
From 2014 to 2015, advancing alongside China's automotive industry, the company achieved a breakthrough from zero to one. To ensure quality, its products' raw materials came from the same suppliers as international brands, and its production automation rate exceeded 90%.
In 2016, the company began establishing a nationwide sales and service network, transitioning from a regional brand to a national one.
In 2019, with digital services evolving from product-focused to solution-oriented, AFC launched the "AFC Intelligent Matching System." Users can simply input their vehicle model or VIN code, and the system will accurately recommend the most suitable products while providing professional online consultation. This marked AFC’s transformation from a pure parts supplier to a "professional maintenance solution provider."
