Our story

AF Group is the materialization of an idea which first saw light way back in 1993.  It is the post Cold war era when the emergent ex-URSS countries become the focus of extreme interest from the European economies, who grasp their intricacies and potential from the start.

The dissolution of the Soviet Union marks the beginning of a new era which translates into two areas, the first purely political, with the emergence of new independent states, and the second economic, with the sudden need for these states to attract capital and develop their own independent economies. In these investments the Old Europe seizes a significant opportunity which will give rise as much to brilliant economic enterprises as to rash and reckless investments.

Indeed the term globalization has too often provided a veil for full-on economic colonization which, by definition, could not take account of or adapt to the macroeconomic context or social fabric of the countries in question, thereby determining the inevitable failure of the operation.

It is the convergence of these factors which provides the momentum for this project and subsequently for the structure of the A.F.Group to take shape.  The mission is to guide entrepreneurial companies through their natural international expansion with the aim of developing their commercial network through the opening of new markets, the relocation of production facilities, and the establishment of new working synergies with local partners, whilst at the same maintaining a constant focus on their financial stability and industrial management.

We want to ensure a process which, whether it be for expansion or restructure, is speedy, efficient, and most of all brings about the capacity for a real and enduring ability to create value.

With the benefit of experience spanning two decades and a network of now over forty professionals across ten different countries, the AF Group connects a world where one business’ need becomes another business’ opportunity.
