About Us
AFL Group 60 years’ experience with flame lamination
AFL Group’s heritage stretches back to 1964, built on more than six decades of experience in textile lamination, slitting, and advanced material treatments.
Re-established in its modern form by CEO Matt Dunlop in 2000, the business recognised early the need for wider-format lamination to support Australia’s growing machinery and textile markets.
This drove the expansion into flame lamination and foam bonding beyond 1900mm wide, rapidly increasing demand - particularly across Victoria.
Strategic acquisitions, including the former Toyota lamination plant in Melbourne, a Sydney slitting operation, and the Flame Free fabric-treatment company, strengthened AFL Group’s technical depth and national reach.
AFL Group operates across Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast
Delivering a true end-to-end converting solution: flame lamination, sheet-glue adhesion, slitting, CNC textile cutting, 3D scanning, fabric treatments and sublimation printing.
