A-FAB, the parent company of AFCO Racing and Dynatech, as well as US Brakes, has just purchased Pro Shocks as well. “Pro Formance” brand shocks have been around for years and, like AFCO, have a good brand name in the racing industry. With AFCO’s dedication to making the best shocks for the Saturday night racer, it’s no surprise to us that they would add another brand like Pro Shocks to the A-FAB family of companies. And with this growth comes even more opportunity, including even more new jobs at AFCO. Look for over 60 new positions to be announced in 2013.
Here is the official announcement from A-FAB.
