Afinitas Integrates Equipment and Forming Divisions, Announces Leadership Changes

Afinitas, a leading global infrastructure equipment and services company, is pleased to announce the integration of its Equipment & Automation and Forming Systems Divisions into a single, unified division. Effective immediately, the new Afinitas Equipment & Automation Division will provide comprehensive solutions, including equipment, automation, and drycast and wetcast forming systems for pipe and precast concrete producers. Afinitas will continue to offer accessory products through its Concrete Accessories Division.

“This integration allows us to combine our engineering and manufacturing strengths to enhance product quality, efficiency, and innovation,” said Jason Duncan, Afinitas CEO. “More importantly, it simplifies how customers work with us—fewer points of contact, faster response times, and a more seamless experience.”

All Afinitas manufacturing facilities and teams will continue to operate in their current locations around the world, aligned under shared best practices and a unified commitment to product excellence. This global consistency ensures that customers will continue to receive the same high-quality products and service they expect, with the added benefit of streamlined collaboration across our teams.

To support this transition, Afinitas is also announcing key leadership changes designed to enhance operational excellence and customer service.
