AFT was founded 23 years ago by Dr Hartley and Marree Atkinson. Since then AFT has remained an Atkinson-family controlled
business and has grown organically into Australia and internationally
The 2015 IPO raised funds to pursue a more aggressive (and loss-making) R&D-led growth strategy. AFT has now returned to
profitability as intended, as the company was prior to IPO
