"Truly it all comes down to one thing and that's relationships. Not only with the people I work with and who support us but the relationships with our customers and that means everything to me."

AFX Lighting was founded in Chicago by entrepreneur William Rusnak, who was inspired by the innovative fluorescent tube lighting displayed at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. He started American Fluorescent Corporation in 1938, which focused on selling linear fluorescent light fixtures The company found early success and continued to thrive under the leadership of Rusnak's son-in-law, Jerry Solomon, who became President in 1959. Solomon's son succeeded him in 1983 and is currently the CEO of the company.

As technology evolved, our focus shifted to LED lighting, enabling our expansion into a broader and more decorative product portfolio. In 2012, we changed our name to AFX Lighting to reflect this transformation of our company.

Today, AFX Lighting is headquartered in Waukegan, IL, and offers a wide range of functional and decorative lighting products, focusing our efforts on the development of unique and innovative products created by our in-house design team.
