We Build Capacity, Not Campaigns.
AFG acquires and develops industrial-scale hemp and bamboo processing capacity to supply certified fiber inputs for U.S. manufacturing, defense, energy, and construction sectors..
What We Do
AFG develops industrial-scale fiber production in the United States.
We source raw material from domestic growers, refine it into standardized industrial inputs, and supply manufacturers in energy, defense, construction, automotive, textiles, and consumer goods.
This isn’t sustainability positioning.
This is material independence.
Why It Matters
For decades, core industrial inputs were offshored.
Petrochemical synthetics, aramids, viscose, and rayon are now price-volatile and geopolitically exposed.
At the same time, domestic-content incentives, FEOC restrictions, and defense procurement rules have rewritten the industrial playbook.
Bio-based industrial fibers are no longer “alternatives.”
They are strategic supply chain assets.
AFG builds the capacity required to make them at scale, in the U.S., with verified performance, throughput, and traceability.
The Industrial Economy Is Shifting and the Fiber Base Is the Bottleneck
The Fiber Base Is the Bottleneck
Over the last 50 years, the United States offshored core industrial inputs: steel, semiconductors, chemicals, textiles, and structural fibers. That worked when shipping was cheap and geopolitics were predictable.
That era is over.
Shipping volatility is permanent
Defense sourcing must be domestic
Petrochemical feedstocks are politically exposed
FEOC restrictions are constraining China-sourced materials
Corporations cannot meet carbon traceability using legacy synthetics
The result:
The cost of importing is now higher than the cost of producing domestically.
But the U.S. no longer has the fiber processing capacity to meet demand.
This is the break in the system.
This is the opening.
This is where value concentrates.
AFG rebuilds industrial fiber capacity in the United States.
We are not creating new demand. We are supplying existing demand that currently has no domestic source.
Regional Development
Rebuild capacity where capacity was lost.
Industrial fiber processing plants behave like anchor employers, the same way steel mills, pulp mills, and rail hubs historically stabilized regional economies.
They create multi-tier job ecosystems (operators, technicians, logistics, ag-supply, finishing, construction).
They support regional grower networks, redirecting capital back into rural counties.
They expand the local tax base and qualify for state and federal development incentives.
They can be co-located with underutilized industrial sites to reduce build-out cost and commissioning timelines.
This is not a “new industry.”
It is the reconstruction of a missing industrial link that enables manufacturing expansion.
Where fiber capacity returns, manufacturing follows.
What Happens If the U.S. Does Not Build This Capacity
If the U.S. does not rebuild domestic fiber processing capacity:
Defense supply chains remain China-dependent
EV, battery, grid, and construction incentives fail to convert into output
Corporations cannot meet Scope 3 carbon & traceability targets
States cannot meet procurement standards
Rural and industrial regions miss the reshoring cycle
The country that controls material production controls the systems built on top of it.
How We Operate
-
Facility Acquisition
Identify and acquire underutilized mills and processing sites.
Reduces build-out time and capex.
-
Process Engineering
Upgrade equipment for decortication, refinement, pulp, composites, and carbonization.
Ensures performance consistency and throughput.
-
Supply Integration
Source domestic raw fiber via contracted grower networks.
Stability, quality control, and FEOC-clean compliance. -
Material Standardization
Produce certified, spec-grade industrial fiber inputs.
Manufacturability, traceability, and long-term reliability.
Leadership Philosophy
We run on three principles:
1. Build What Works.
Execution over pitch decks. Throughput over theory.
2. Supply Chain is Strategy.
Control material inputs, and you control the market.
3. Domestic Capacity is Leverage.
If the U.S. does not produce its own materials, it does not control its future.
The Next 10 Years
Over the next decade, global material markets will reorganize around:
Domestic content requirements
Defense supply chain sovereignty
Carbon and traceability reporting
Sustainable structural materials
Verified, de-risked feedstocks
AFG builds the infrastructure that makes this transition possible.
Because the country that controls material production controls the system built on top of it.
