AMF is unique in its ability to accompany its customers from creative brainstorming to the application of products, thanks to the formation of tailor-made teams that follow the projects and a worldwide presence. A specificity that is the result of complete control of the production chain and uncommon technical expertise, a synthesis of design, science and craftsmanship. From prototyping to on-site technical support, AMF guarantees the quality of products and service, accompanying the customer from the initial idea to its engineering. Our tailor-made logistics helps companies and brands that choose us to manage the complexity of flows with agile and effective processes. In addition, we provide our customers with constantly updated collections: ready-made accessories or to be customized for clothing, footwear, leather goods.
DESIGN
We do not set ourselves limits on aesthetics, feasibility or finish. The AMF R&D team is made up of stylists, technical designers, chemists and specialists who work together to develop the products of the coming seasons. Holder of several design and invention patents, over the years AMF has distinguished itself for its ability to find solutions from a mechanical point of view – of application and not only – introducing innovations that have then become industry standards. If your need is to have a customized item, develop a new product from scratch, study new finishes, techniques or materials, you will find an ideal partner in AMF.
MODELING
In our work – with a high rate of innovation and technology – there is an irreducible creative dimension, closely related to art and high craftsmanship. If we manage to achieve what many do not even imagine, it is because software is the natural extension of an exquisitely human technical sensibility. The prototypes sculpted on wax are the clearest expression of this: a meticulous work, preparatory to the engineering and reproducibility of the accessories we create for and together with our customers, transforming their ideas and intuitions into reality.
CONSULT THE ARCHIVE
Fashion has a cyclical component and preserving its material memory means being aware of its past trends, to imagine those to come. AMF is one of the richest archives of items for the Fashion Industry – metallic and non-metallic accessories – in the world. In over 30 years of history, we have created and cataloged a large number of products, which we make available to our customers and their creativity.
In Paris, moreover, there is an unprecedented artistic heritage, the Chainoteque, with more than 500 pieces of art, made in almost 150 years of history.
AMF COLLECTION
Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of fashion history and trends, we design and produce accessories that add value to our customers' creations and inspire original ideas. Our collection, renewed twice a year, includes the most innovative ideas from our designers and stylists. For 30 years, it has been the source of inspiration for original developments: new mechanisms, new materials and innovative processes.
APPLICATION SERVICE
Thanks to a dedicated and specialized team, AMF can guarantee its customers a rapid application service for third parties. Every day the assembly department applies studs, staples, rhinestones, rivets, special logos, etc. on pre-cut fabrics or leathers supplied by the customer. This service is suitable in the case of particularly complex applications, precious materials or in case of emergencies related to fashion shows and collections. In these cases, AMF can offer a complete service that includes lasering, die-cutting, skiving, application and multi-application of any type of item.
TAILOR-MADE LOGISTICS
Transform complex problems into fluid and effective solutions. This is the golden rule when logistics is an integral part of product quality. AMF makes it the principle to guarantee an excellent service also from this point of view. The main international brands, global companies with complex supply networks, find in AMF the possibility of outsourcing logistics: their production plants thus have a single point of contact, without having to go through a central warehouse. In addition, important customers who require a rapid replenishment service, with no minimum order and at a more competitive price, can enjoy the block order service: against an annual purchase commitment, AMF guarantees immediate restocking at the best commercial conditions.
ON-SITE TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Customer support has always been AMF's strength. Coordinating a global supply chain by introducing new items seasonally can be a complex task. AMF provides application solutions that simplify this phase: manual or automatic application machines and support in the production start-up phase, as well as the possibility of requesting on-site technical support in case of problems during production. We guarantee our support all over the world, also thanks to the logistics office in Hong Kong.
