When my father started this business in
1969, he believed that great service was the key to success. His motto was
simply "we are only as good as our last delivery". Now; nearly 40 years
later, we still believe that superior service is a difference that results
in real value to our customers. Our motto has not changed, and our
commitment to our customer remains the same. We will do everything we can,
on every delivery, to demonstrate what Affton superior service is all
about.

Facility. Affton offers the
largest bulk transfer facility in the central Midwest region. Complete
24/7 services and a federally certified scale on site, and our paved
product transfer area. Packaging is also available.
Technology. Our customized computer system was
developed with you in mind, allowing for complete customization to
meet special needs. We are fully EDI capable as well, for real-time
information when and how you need it!
Location.
Affton is located in St. Louis, MO. By being so near the very center
of the country we offer not only rapid transit times for delivery, but
we also offer an ideal central U.S. point for staging railcars of
product set for future sales. Perhaps most importantly, our unique
location provides for on-site access to every class 1 railroad.
Specialized Equipment.
Our fleet of identical polished aluminum trailers has a 1636
cu. ft. capacity and was built to Affton specifications. In addition
to many other enhancements, each of our trailers are equipped with Dry
Cool air-to-air coolers designed to help prevent product degradation.
We also offer switching flexibility by operating our own 3050TM
Trackmobile.
From the moment your shipment is loaded onto the rail until it is
delivered to your silo, Affton provides the very best in service and
professionalism. Every part of the process is designed with your specific
needs in mind. Let us show you how full-circle service can make a
difference in your operation.
