2. A note from Jerry & Neil
This year marks a major milestone we’re proud to
celebrate at AFR Furniture Rental — our 40th year.
Since 1975, AFR has grown into this nation’s second largest
provider of rental furniture. Today, AFR is over 80 times the
size it was when our business partnership began, with 22
distribution centers across the country. We built this company
with amazing employees — smart, talented people who never
stop looking for a better way to delight our clients.
We wouldn’t be where we are today without the hard work
and dedication of every AFR team member. As market
opportunities presented themselves, we hired great people
who wanted to be part of something special. Most of our
senior management team reached their current positions

by being promoted from within the company. We even
have second-generation family members on our staff.
What’s next for AFR? One thing is for certain — we’re
not done. Today, we think the time is perfect to grow
our company, build our brand and greatly increase
the products and services we are providing so that we
can be the number one rental furniture provider in the
nation. Our continued investment in our people and our
organizational structure will allow AFR to expand by
incubating new ideas and acquiring new companies
that share our long-term “customer satisfaction”-driven
focus. We believe that AFR is the preeminent provider
of rental furniture. We know that our focus permeates
every organizational function and we look forward to
sharing our passion & successes with our customers
throughout the country.

…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 AFR’s strategic growth for the next two decades
and beyond.
With a shared vision of company growth, Neil and Jerry set out
to increase AFR’s 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, AFR’s 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.
Backed by 40 years of knowledge, pride and commitment,
AFR now boasts 22 coast-to-coast distribution centers, an
unbeatable team of exceptional people, and an eagerness
to see what the future holds.
