- 4. 4 and the rest is history Since opening its doors in 1975, AFR has evolved from a respected local business into a national leader. Owner Neil Scholnick, who acquired the Philadelphia-based company in 1983, crossed paths with future co-owner Jerry Hellmann in 1989. Seeing an opportunity to fulfill untapped needs for their clients, the like-minded industry veterans formed a partnership that would drive AFRs strategic growth for the next two decades and beyond. With a shared vision of company growth, Neil and Jerry set out to increase AFRs regional presence as a residential and office furniture rental company. In 2006, they leveraged their proven processes, logistics expertise and infrastructure to enter the trade show and event business. Although the furniture may be different, AFRs commitment across the residential, commercial, event and trade show markets remains the same supporting the needs of customers with quality furnishings, when and where they need them. From high profile events and temporary office space to a luxury model home, AFR does it all, and does it well.
