AFA Solutions

About us

Alfred Traugott Mattecka (I) purchased the processing company for animal products in Fürth/ Bavaria on 19.01.1919. His son Alfred Georg took over the family firm in 1948. In the third generation, Alfred Wilhelm Mattecka succeeded in expanding activities across Europe from 1971 onwards. Shares were held in the current companies Sonac Brünen (Germany), Sonac Osetnice (Poland), ZTS Plattling (Germany) Asavet Birkov and ASAP Vez (Czech Republic).

From our more than 100 years of experience in the animal by-product processing sector and the manufacture and trading of animal proteins and fats, the fourth generation Alfred and Yana Mattecka established the company AFA Solutions.
