AFL is proud to call the Upstate of South Carolina home. AFL’s headquarters and three of our manufacturing facilities are situated conveniently between Greenville and Spartanburg, SC. It is a truly beautiful area in the northwestern part of the state in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We enjoy four distinct seasons with relatively mild winters. Many visitors are pleasantly surprised with the many features of the area we call home.

We live here, so it would be easy to share more about what we think. We invite you to listen to what others are saying about the Upstate. One great website is I Was Blown Away. Also see the Greenville Chamber THINK Greenville brochure.
