How We Work

If you're looking for a partner to solve a system problem, it's important to know the company's way of working. How a company approaches problems tells you quickly if they match your own style, which is a big part of finding good solutions to your challenges.

At AFTC, customers have already experienced working with our 7-step method and are really happy with it. It's a straightforward approach that works well for customers with specific and high demands - like those in the automotive industry. If you read through our steps and think they might be too detailed, don't worry! Not everyone needs such a thorough process. We've designed it so we can skip some steps or add more detail when needed.

We're not just trying to give you any solution - we want to find THE solution. But we should mention that not every problem can be fixed with acrylic foam tape, and we'll be honest about that. This saves you time and gives you clarity about possibilities that might be outside what we offer.

It is our job to give customers the support they need, because this builds trust and makes us credible partners. We understand that business relationships should be long-term and forward-looking. If working together isn't the best answer today, that doesn't rule out working together in the future. When the conditions are right, starting a partnership with greater confidence creates a solid beginning.

Our 7-Step Approach to a system solution

1. Initial Discovery

We begin by gaining a comprehensive understanding of your product, manufacturing process, and the challenges you're facing. This allows us to understand the complete context, not just the surface symptoms.

 

2. Technical Requirements Analysis

We translate your situation into precise technical specifications, analyzing:

• Substrate materials and surface properties
• Mechanical forces and stress points
• Environmental exposure conditions
• Application and assembly requirements
• Industry-specific performance standards

 

3. Solution Engineering

Based on your technical requirements, our specialists select the most appropriate acrylic foam tape solution, considering critical factors such as:

• Load distribution capabilities
• Adhesion strength to specific substrates
• Temperature resistance range
• Chemical exposure tolerance
• UV and weather resistance
• Vibration damping properties
• Expansion/contraction compensation

 

4. Testing & Validation

We firmly believe in validating every solution in real-world conditions. Our team supports this crucial phase with:

• Application testing protocols
• Environmental simulation (Climate Chamber)
• Documentation of performance metrics

 

5. Value Assessment

Once testing results are available, we conduct a comprehensive review examining both technical performance and business impact:

• Assembly time and labor reduction
• Long-term durability comparisons
• Total cost of ownership analysis
• Quality and consistency improvements

 

6. Implementation Planning

We work closely with your team to finalize all aspects of the solution:

• Product specifications and customizations
• Volume requirements and forecasting
• Supply chain integration
• Application guidelines and training
• Quality control procedures

 

7. Continuous Support

Our commitment extends beyond implementation:

• Technical support and troubleshooting
• Training

 

It all starts with a conversation. The rest is history. Others have already experienced our approach. Will you?
